A 1961-spec Stratocaster by master builder Greg Fessler has arrived!
Featuring a two-piece alder body finished in Tobacco Sunburst, it boasts a straight-grained maple back and sides, with an AAA-grade rosewood fingerboard.
It features narrow-tall SANKO 6105 fret wires and a modern 9.5" fingerboard radius, making it ideal for bending and vibrato in the higher frets.
The pickups are a Handwired 69STRAT (Neck), a Handwired FAT50 (Middle/reverse-wound, reverse-polarity), and a Handwired Texas Special (Bridge), allowing you to enjoy distinctive sounds in each position.
The combination of Tobacco Sunburst finish, gold hardware, and mint green plastic parts creates a striking visual presence, showcasing the refined sensibility of a master builder who has crafted numerous guitars of various styles.
You can truly appreciate the master craftsmanship trusted by world-renowned guitarists, including Robben Ford.
There is a rice-grain-sized dent on the lower part of the body top and back, which is believed to be a jig mark, and there are some sticker marks on the body back.
Due to the "Closet Classic" finish, there are fine scratches throughout the body, along with a few scattered dents from use, and some paint blotches are visible on a portion of the back.
While it shows some signs of use, it has been fully serviced and cleaned at our repair center, and playability is excellent.
