Pre-Loved Fender Custom Shop 1961 Strat Heavy Relic Shell Pink Over 3 Tone Sunburst RW Master Builder Designed by Dale Wilson #R102001
Tax included
While we have our fair share of special guitars at De Rosa Music Saffron Walden, there is something particularly eye-catching about the Fender Custom Shop 1961 Stratocaster Heavy Relic. Handcrafted by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder and renowned luthier Dale Wilson, this electric guitar’s appearance is surely the first thing to catch your attention. The unique three-tone sunburst effect in Shell Pink taps into its vintage appeal, which, when paired with its 1961 specifications build and Heavy Relic finish, authentically ages the guitar, giving it the feel it’s been lovingly played for decades. This isn’t just about looks, though; the finish also contributes to the rich, warm tone provided by the meticulously hand-wound pickups. It’s a truly exceptional guitar and one that belongs in any discerning guitar collection.
Stunning Custom Shop strat designed by top Fender master builder ‘Dale Wilson’. This is the only 1 of its kind in the world and is a case queen, in factory condition.
Finished in Shell Pink over 3-Tone Sunburst, and treated to a Heavy Relic finish which needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. It's covered in lacquer checking (which we've tried to capture in one of the photos) and has beautiful Custom Shop detailing. It's a particular unique looking strat which stands out from the crowd - and would look equally amazing with white plastics as an option.
The premium spec includes an Alder body, silky-smooth Maple neck with comfortable '60's style oval C’ medium profile, Rosewood fingerboard with Micarta white inlays, 12” Radius and Jumbo / 6100 frets. You also get an American Vintage tremolo bridge, vintage tuning keys, aged hardware and black plastics.
The factory-fitted pickups are an EVH Wolfgang zebra humbucker at the bridge, combined with 2x '69 single coils. It has 2x tone and 1x volume control and a 5-way selector. It sounds fantastic with classic strat tone tone, plus it's particularly versatile thanks to that bridge pickup, covering most genres with ease.
It comes with its premium brown leather-bound Fender custom shop hard case, paperwork, tags, trem arm, shopfloor traveller, springs, custom shop catalogue, and its Certificate of Authenticity.
