Fender Custom Shop Master Built Dave Murray Stratocaster NOS - Olympic White #DM5201

The Fender Custom Shop Master Built Dave Murray Stratocaster NOS in Olympic White is a masterfully crafted instrument that embodies the unmistakable spirit of one of heavy metal's most influential guitarists. Built with uncompromising attention to detail, this exceptional Stratocaster pairs timeless Fender aesthetics with modern performance enhancements, delivering a guitar that is equally at home on the world's biggest stages or in the hands of discerning collectors. Finished in a durable polyester Olympic White finish, the two piece alder body offers balanced resonance, articulate attack, and classic Stratocaster character while maintaining the authentic appearance of a New Old Stock instrument.

Its walnut flatsawn neck is treated with a smooth oil finish that provides an exceptionally natural feel, encouraging effortless movement across the fretboard. The comfortable 60 Style Oval "C" profile is perfectly suited for extended playing sessions, while the compound 9.5 inch to 14 inch rosewood fingerboard radius allows for comfortable chord work in the lower register and effortless string bending higher up the neck. With a traditional 25.5 inch scale length, 21 frets, Micarta white dot inlays, and a Floyd Rose R2 locking nut, the guitar delivers classic Fender playability combined with the tuning stability demanded by high performance playing.

At the heart of this instrument is a powerful Seymour Duncan HSH pickup configuration specifically selected to capture Dave Murray's signature sound. A Seymour Duncan Hot Rail SHR-1B in the bridge position provides aggressive output, tight low end, and searing lead tones, while the Seymour Duncan JB Jr in the middle position introduces clarity, punch, and remarkable versatility. The neck position features a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail SHR-1N, producing smooth sustain, rich harmonics, and fluid solo tones that excel under high gain. The versatile five position blade switch unlocks an impressive range of tones, from thick, high output leads to articulate clean sounds, while independent volume controls for the neck and bridge pickups and a master tone control allow for precise tonal shaping.

Performance is further elevated by a recessed Floyd Rose tremolo system that offers exceptional tuning stability through the most demanding dive bombs, vibrato techniques, and expressive pitch manipulation. Chrome hardware complements the classic Olympic White finish, while vintage style tuning machines preserve the instrument's traditional Fender aesthetic. A pearloid pickguard, white plastic control knobs, and a white switch tip complete the elegant visual presentation, balancing vintage style with unmistakable stage presence.

Factory strung with Fender 010 to 046 strings, the guitar is ready to deliver everything from articulate rhythm work to soaring solos with confidence and precision. Weighing a comfortable 8 pounds 4 ounces, it offers an excellent balance of sustain and comfort for extended performances. The instrument is protected by a premium brown hardshell case, ensuring this Master Built Stratocaster remains secure whether traveling to the next show or residing in a distinguished collection. Combining Custom Shop craftsmanship, premium materials, and the unmistakable influence of Dave Murray's legendary playing style, this Stratocaster is a rare instrument built to inspire for generations.
