Own a piece of guitar history with this Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster, meticulously handcrafted by Masterbuilder Greg Fessler. This instrument features a deeply resonant two-piece Alder body with a "Heavy Relic" finish that reveals a 3-Color Sunburst beneath an Aged Black top coat. With its rare Reverse Telecaster Peg headstock and hand-wound Josefina pickups are a dream for both players and collectors that delivers legendary Stratocaster chime and growl. It features a HW 65 Strat in the neck, a HW 65 Strat RWRP in the middle for hum-canceling in positions 2 and 4, and a HW 65 Strat in the bridge. The Vintage Modified Wiring #2 ensures that the tone remains clear and musical across the entire range of the volume and tone pots.

This Masterbuilt Stratocaster is designed to offer the ultimate vintage feel with modern reliability. The Alder body is selected for its weight and tonal qualities, finished in a nitrocellulose lacquer that allows the wood to breathe and age naturally. The neck is a highlight of this build, featuring 5/4 Quartersawn Maple and a Reverse Telecaster Headstock. The 1951 "U" neck profile provides a substantial, period-correct grip that feels solid and comfortable. The fingerboard is high-grade AAA Rosewood with a modern 9.50" radius and Vintage Clay dots, paired with 21 Medium Jumbo (6150) frets for effortless playability and bending.
