USED Fender Custom Shop / MBS Custom QMT Stratocaster NOS Caribbean Blue Trans by Dale Wilson [05]

Fender Custom Shop / MBS Custom QMT Stratocaster NOS Caribbean Blue Trans by Dale Wilson in used condition!

Dale Wilson joined Fender in 2003, moved to the Custom Shop in 2005, and was promoted to Master Builder in 2011. This is a 2019 example made by Dale Wilson, a builder so popular that new orders are now being stopped.

The body is a 2-Piece Ash back, Quilt 5A top with a 5/4 QTR Maple neck in NOS finish with a Urethane finish. Fingerboard is "AAA RW (rosewood)". Neck shape is "65 Strat "C" and fingerboard R is 9.5 Radius. The fret size is "SANKO 6105 (Narrow Tall Size)" with 22 frets.

The 5A Quilt is finished in Caribbean Blue Trans color for a beautiful appearance. The light weight of 3.19 kg is also a point that cannot be overlooked. The overall sound is edgy, but the high notes are not painful to the ear, and the balance is good, making it ideal for playing chords and cutting.

The position markings have been replaced with Paua instead of Mother of Pearl. The front and middle PUs have been replaced with Custom Shop Texas Special. * The original is Josefina HW Texas Special, but this one is not included.
Rear is original Seymour Duncan TB-4.

There are some paint cracks at the neck joint that have been repaired (the paint has also been repaired), but there are few dents and scratches, and the guitar remains in relatively clean condition. Playability is good, including the truss rod.

There are some replacement parts, but it was made by Dale Wilson, a popular builder who has stopped accepting new orders. Please consider this as an opportunity to purchase.
