Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Dennis Galuszka Limited Edition Reverse Proto Stratocaster 1 of 100 - USA 2006

Crafted to perfection, this Fender Custom Shop Reverse Proto Stratocaster, meticulously built by Dennis Galuszka in 2006, is a collector's dream. One of only 100 ever made, it presents in near new condition, showcasing the care and attention to detail characteristic of collector-quality instruments.

Inspired by Jimi Hendrix's legendary late 1960s Strat, this model features the iconic reverse headstock, cleverly married to a right-handed body—a tribute to Hendrix's enduring influence. Despite its initial conception in 1979, the Reverse Proto faced obstacles in production, yet its legacy was cemented by owners like Stevie Ray Vaughan, ensuring its place in Fender folklore.

Exuding vintage charm, the guitar boasts a two-piece select alder body finished in vintage white, treated with a "Closet Classic" finish for an authentic aged appearance. The maple neck sports a reverse late '60s-style large headstock, complemented by '70s F tuning machines. Its features, including a matching belly-cut contour, '70s-style cast bridge with cast saddles, and three Custom '69 grey bobbin single-coil pickups, make it a true gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Complete with a limited-edition black hardshell case, a special Custom Shop certificate, and a DVD interview with Master Builder Dennis Galuszka, this Reverse Proto Stratocaster embodies Fender craftsmanship at its finest—an instrument of unparalleled quality and historical significance.
