2023 Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt 60's Stratocaster Heavy Relic - Faded Chocolate 3-Tone Sunburst #CZ574592

Experience the artistry and soul of a true master builder with this 2023 Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt ’60s Stratocaster, expertly crafted by Dale Wilson. Finished in a stunning Faded Chocolate 3-Tone Sunburst with a Heavy Relic treatment, this instrument captures the unmistakable vibe of a well-loved vintage Strat—delivering both visual character and exceptional playability.

The roasted alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation with enhanced resonance and stability, while the lacquer finish allows the wood to breathe and age gracefully. Paired with a beautifully figured 3A roasted flame maple neck, this Strat features a comfortable ’65 “C” profile (.820"–.974") that feels instantly familiar in hand. The compound 7.25"–9.5" radius and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets offer effortless playability across the entire fretboard, making it equally suited for chord work and expressive lead playing.

Tonally, this guitar is equipped with Custom Shop hand-wound Fat ’60s Strat pickups, including a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity middle pickup for hum-canceling in positions 2 and 4. Expect warm, articulate lows, glassy highs, and that unmistakable Stratocaster quack—perfect for everything from blues and rock to funk and beyond.

Vintage-inspired appointments such as clay dot inlays, a 60s-style GBG pickguard, American Vintage Strat bridge, and vintage Fender tuning machines complete the classic aesthetic, while chrome hardware adds a timeless touch.

Weighing in at a comfortable 7 lbs 8 oz, this Masterbuilt Strat is perfectly balanced for stage or studio use. It comes complete with a Fender Custom Shop hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.

This is more than just a guitar—it’s a meticulously crafted tribute to the golden era of Fender, built for players who demand the very best in tone, feel, and vintage authenticity.
