🎸 HOLY GRAIL ALERT: Carlos Lopez Masterbuilt Heavy Relic Stratocaster 🎸

THE GUITAR CARLOS LOPEZ DIDN'T WANT TO LET GO

This isn't just another Custom Shop Strat – this is the one that made master builder Carlos Lopez say "I really want to keep this one" on social media. Now that he's no longer with Fender, guitars like this have become the stuff of legend.

🔥 THE SPECS THAT MATTER:

• Body: Alder with single-layer paint (no primer) – you can literally FEEL the wood grain through the finish
• Neck: Quarter-sawn maple with compound 9.5"-12" radius
• Frets: 21 vintage-style for that authentic feel
• Pickups: Hand-wound by the legendary Josefina Campos – these aren't just pickups, they're sonic weapons
• Hardware: Vintage-style tuners and bridge for maximum authenticity
• Finish: Heavy relic that looks like it survived Woodstock, Monterey Pop, AND a world tour

🎵 THE TONE: Those Josefina Campos hand-wounds deliver everything from crystalline cleans to screaming leads. The single-layer paint job means maximum wood resonance – this guitar BREATHES music.

📦 WHAT YOU GET:

• Original owner, mint condition (except for the intentional heavy relic, obviously!)
• ALL case candy included
• Ships in original Fender box
• The knowledge that you own a piece of Custom Shop history

💎 THE BOTTOM LINE: Carlos Lopez masterbuilts are already climbing in value since his departure from Fender. This particular guitar – the one he wanted to keep – represents the pinnacle of his craftsmanship. Heavy relic done RIGHT, with premium hand-wound pickups and that magical single-layer finish that lets the wood sing.

Serious inquiries only. This guitar is priced to move to someone who understands what they're getting.

Price reflects the rarity, provenance, and the fact that they're not making any more Carlos Lopez masterbuilts.

Weight: 7 lbs 14oz (approximate).
