USED Fender Custom Shop / Master Built 1960s Stratocaster HSS Heavy Reflic Dakota Red built by Dale Wilson [05]

The '60s Stratocaster Heavy Relic by Master Builder Dale Wilson, renowned for his overwhelming popularity and skill within the Fender Custom Shop, has arrived.

Dale Wilson is globally acclaimed for his exceptional relic techniques and deep understanding of vintage guitars, and is now considered one of the most sought-after builders. This instrument fully embodies his signature craftsmanship in texture, tonal balance, and meticulous detail.

The body features traditional alder with a Dakota Red finish. Wilson's signature Heavy Relic treatment goes beyond simple scratches or paint chips, creating realistic, three-dimensional aging that looks like years of playing.

The neck is constructed from strong quarter-sawn maple, with a maple fingerboard, delivering a bright, clear sound. The combination of a '60s Oval "C" shape, 9.5-inch radius, and 6105 frets achieves a high level of balance between vintage feel and modern playability.

The pickup configuration is HSS, enabling versatile tone shaping. The bridge features a Wide Range Zebra humbucker delivering both mid-low end thickness and clarity, while the middle and neck positions utilize Seymour Duncan Custom Design Single-Coils (the middle is RWRP). This setup handles everything from clear Strat tones to powerful drive sounds, making it a versatile instrument suitable for any genre.

The electronics are equally robust, featuring volume and master tone controls plus a mid-boost. The built-in 12dB boost circuit enhances your presence during solos. Furthermore, the bridge humbucker supports coil splitting via push-push switches, allowing instant switching to a single-coil-like tone.

The finish is exceptionally refined, with relic-treated hardware and pickguard recreating vintage character. Meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, this guitar truly embodies the essence of Dale Wilson.
