The Story

1957 Stratocaster Roasted Ash Ultimate Relic Vintage Blonde Masterbuilt Carlos Lopez

One of the three first Ultimate Relic guitars built by Fender Masterbuilder Carlos Lopez, we're super excited to offer this '57 Stratocaster in Vintage Blonde over roasted woods! The maple neck and lightweight ash body have both undergone a roasting process that eliminates excess moisture and sugars for rock-solid stability and extra punchy tones. The guitar is loaded up with handwound '50s Strat pickups and a reverse wound/reverse polarity middle pickup which results in hum cancelling in the 2 and 4 positions!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Trem Arm, Hang Tags and Paperwork
