2023 - Fender Custom Shop Master Built 1963 Stratocaster Ultimate Relic - Faded Sonic Blue

Masterbuilt by Vincent Van Trigt — A Benchmark in Craftsmanship

Handcrafted by esteemed Master Builder Vincent Van Trigt, this exceptional instrument represents the pinnacle of vintage-inspired performance and modern precision. Every detail is meticulously selected and executed to deliver an elevated playing experience, remarkable tonal depth, and heirloom-grade artistry.

Premium Tonewoods & Authentic Feel
A beautifully resonant Roasted Alder body forms the tonal foundation, enhanced by a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish that allows the wood to breathe and age gracefully. The quartersawn roasted maple neck provides outstanding stability, shaped to an inviting 1960-style Oval “C” profile for a fast, comfortable feel across all 20 frets. Topped with a stunning Brazilian rosewood fingerboard featuring white Micarta inlays, the neck offers both visual elegance and exceptional playability, supported by a 9.5" radius and medium jumbo 6150 frets.

Boutique Electronics & Vintage Voice
Loaded with a trio of handwound Texas Special single-coil pickups, this guitar delivers iconic clarity, punch, and dynamic response. From glassy neck tones to cutting bridge bite, the 5-way blade switch and intuitive control layout—Master Volume, Tone 1 (Neck/Middle), and Tone 2 (Bridge)—offer versatile shaping for stage or studio.

Precision Hardware & Classic Performance
A 6-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo ensures smooth pitch modulation with authentic feel, while vintage tuning machines provide reliable stability without sacrificing classic aesthetics. A bone nut and 4-bolt neck plate further reinforce durability, resonance, and tuning accuracy.
