Features We Love:

Master Builder Designed by Yuriy Shishkov

Yuriy has been a Master Builder since 2000, with several decades of experience under his belt. Prior to joining Fender, his craftsmanship and skill allowed him the opportunity to collaborate with legends like Dimebag Darrell of Pantera, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Nuno Bettencourt, Robin Zander of Cheap Trick and Paul Stanley of Kiss. His high quality of work can clearly be seen in the design of this guitar. It brings together a great mix of classic looks and modern sensibilities. Fender Custom Shop guitars such as this make you realise that it is worth paying a bit more to get something that really stands above a lot of other guitars at a similar price point.

Handwired Custom Shop Pickups

These Custom Shop pickups are a tonal delight to the ears. Each pickup has been individually calibrated and uniquely overwound by hand to provide the player with a variety of high output sounds. From vintage tones with some extra juice to full-on leads or Texas style licks, these pickups can handle it all with ease. Plenty of tonal variety that can cut through a mix or live setting without any trouble whatsoever.

Faded Relic Finish

The attention to detail on the faded relic finish is a real thing of beauty. The Desert Sand has been worn in the appropriate places to reflect years of playing and life on the road. It gives the look of a guitar that has already lived a long and interesting life but without the associated problems that can come with a vintage instrument.

Who Is It For?

If you're after a well loved looking Strat that has the power for energetic tones this is the one! Custom Shop quality throughout and handwound pickups will have you struggling to put this guitar down.
