Fender Custom Masterbuilt ’56 Rosewood Neck Stratocaster NOS Electric Guitar Vintage Blonde View

The 1956 Stratocaster is known for it's distinctive "V' shaped neck, and classic '50s Strat bell-like chime. The "V" shape doesn't feel too sharp as you would think, it's great for quick rhythm playing, and as you go up the neck the "V" starts to taper out, excellent for lead playing. We put a spin on this '56 Strat by giving it a one-piece rosewood neck. The guitar, which has been crafted by Fender Master Builder Jason Smith, has a unique look to it and an even more out-of-the-ordinary tone. Rosewood emphasizes the low end, giving it a "boomier" and looser bottom end. Speaking of tone, this guitar is loaded with Abby Ybarra handwound '50s Strat pickups, the cream of the crop when it comes to Fender electronics.

Fender Custom Shop Exclusive Masterbuilt '57 Stratocaster Ultimate Relic Electric Guitar White Blonde View

In 2007 we approached the Fender Custom Shop with an idea. We wanted the most beat-up, played-in Stratocaster we'd ever seen, and we wanted it to feel like it had been played every night for 40 years. Soon we realized that we would have to take the aging processes developed in the Custom Shop to their limits to produce what would end up being not a tribute to any famous guitarist, but a tribute to the instrument itself. The Ultimate Relic Stratocaster® was born.

We really wanted something that had that special vibe, that particular feeling that so many vintage, well-played instruments have. We had our doubts that guitars aged to this degree wouldn't be done right unless it was a tribute model or some such limited edition. But we shouldn't have doubted Fender's Masterbuilders. Custom Shop veteran John Cruz and guitar building phenom Jason Smith immediately "got it" and met our challenge with an extraordinary attention to detail and skill.

We can order your Ultimate Relic based on Stratocaster® models from 1954 through 1969, in original colors and custom hues. All Ulimate Relics have a extremely worn (and thin) lacquer finish and a very soft neck feel, with the neck profile determined by the model year. We add a special players touch by outfitting most of the guitars with a slightly flatter 9.5" fingerboard radius, and slight larger 6105 medium jumbo frets. Is it a player's guitar? Or is it a collector's guitar? It's both.

Music Zoo manager Tim Reynolds:
"I worked with John [Cruz] to establish the concept of what the guitars should look like, being careful to create our own style that wouldn’t be replicating any signature guitar or famous Strat that already exists, but rather create a stand-alone, been to hell and back player guitar. I have to admit though, it’s really John’s vision and skill that makes these guitars what they are. …The guitars feel so broken in and ”at home“ in your hands. They look and feel like a vintage piece right out of the case. Tonally, with a minimal amount of finish left, you’ll find the instrument resonates extremely well, and you tend to get more openness and sustain by allowing the wood to ring freely, much in the same way a vintage player guitar comes alive from the first note you play. Bottom line, we just wanted to make the most badass Relic around."

Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt 2011 Roadshow Limited Edition ‘50s Telecaster Electric Guitar Vintage White View

This guitar is special on a few different levels. Not only is it the work of a Fender Master builder, it's made out of 100-year-old pine and loaded with handwound pickups. This guitar is a limited edition '50s Telecaster built for the 2011 Fender Roadshow. Crafted by Paul Waller, the guitar has a great vintage white finish that is translucent and allows you to see some cool figuring in the pine. Tone-wise if you've always thought Telecasters were too "bright" sounding for your tastes, pine tends to give off more lower mid-range and rolls off some of the treble, making this a Telecaster with a slightly different sound than any other.
