The Story

1959 Stratocaster Hardtail Masterbuilt Paul Waller Journeyman Relic Salem Burst

This awesome guitar is a Masterbuilt 1959 Hardtail Stratocaster with a Journeyman Relic Salem Burst finish, built by Paul Waller and brought to The Music Zoo for our 2019 Fender Road Show! The guitar has a beautiful Salem toner that ages the black edges of the burst just like an original Strat with 2-tone burst would look. We love hardtails for their no-funny-business straight to the point resonance. The guitar has Josefina handwound '50s pickups with a rw/rp middle pickup for hum-cancelling in the 2 and 4 positions as well!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Case Candy and Paperwork
