A dream-spec Masterbuilt creation: 2026 Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster Journeyman Relic, built by Senior Master Builder Dennis Galuszka.

This instrument brings together some of the most sought-after specifications available from the Custom Shop: a roasted Alder body paired with a deeply 3D 4A Roasted Flame Maple neck and a gorgeous, dark slab Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard (stamped "USA ONLY" on the back of the headstock).

Finished in classic Shell Pink under a breathable Thin-Skin nitro lacquer, the guitar showcases Galuszka’s Journeyman Relic aging with elegant weather checking and lightly aged vintage hardware.

Key Highlights & Tone:

• Craftsmanship: Handbuilt by Dennis Galuszka, featuring vintage-accurate 1957 deep body contours and expertly rolled fingerboard edges.
• Neck & Playability: Substantial and incredibly comfortable Large "C" neck (.850"–.990") paired with modern player appointments—a 9.5" radius and Jumbo 6100 frets for effortless bends.
• Acoustic & Electric Tone: Extremely resonant and airy, powered by a calibrated set of Handwound Tomatillo pickups with Fat '50s 1/2 Blender wiring (allowing you to blend neck and bridge pickups seamlessly).
• Weight: Exceptionally light and well-balanced at just 7 lbs 6.9 oz (3.37 kg).
• Package: Mint, unplayed relic condition. Complete with original G&G deluxe hardshell case, Masterbuilt COA folder, Shop Floor Traveler sheet, vintage-style leather strap, bridge cover, and all case candy.
