The Story

2017 NAMM Display Masterbuilt Todd Krause '56 Stratocaster Relic Electric Guitar Aged Olympic White

We are very excited to offer this one-off Masterbuilt guitar from the Fender Custom Shop display at the 2017 Winter NAMM show. It seemed like inspiration really struck the builders in 2016, because this year’s show had some of the coolest, most forward thinking and excellent playing guitars we've seen in quite some time. These guitars all include a NAMM display certificate of authenticity. This is a '56 Relic Strat that's been tweaked into something a bit different from the rest, with its 6105 size frets and 7.25" radius for big bends but quick chording up top, a heavily worn 10/56 "V" shaped riff sawn neck, and two hand-wound single-coil pickups paired with an angled EVH Wolfgang humbucker for a super hot and articulate lead tone!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Strap, Cable, Polish Cloth, Paperwork
