The Story

1959 Stratocaster Ultimate Relic Taos Turquoise Masterbuilt Dale Wilson

Comfortable, resonant, and beautiful: all traits of this Ultimate Relic '59 Stratocaster by Masterbuilder Dale Wilson. The finish is a super unique Faded Taos Turquoise over a roasted alder body, paired with a super-sturdy roasted quartersawn neck that has an oval "C" profile. The pickups are a trio of three different Handwound Custom Shop pickups with a reverse-wound/reverse-polarity middle pickup for hum-cancelling in the 2 and 4 positions. We love Dale's work for his super thin finishes and authentic play wear in all the right spots. Simply put, this Strat rules!

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