This Wildwood 10 ‘59 Stratocaster Relic Masterbuilt by Todd Krause is one of those guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"405\" data-end=\"823\"\u003eBuilt in 2008 as part of an ultra-premium Wildwood specification run, this example combines a lightweight alder body with a thin skin lacquer finish in beautifully faded 3-Tone Sunburst. The subtle arm wear, lightly aged hardware and restrained relic treatment give the guitar an authentic played-in feel without appearing overdone. It is vintage-inspired, though refined in all the right places for the modern player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"825\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003eThe standout feature here is the neck. Based on the same shape and thickness as John English’s famed ‘59 master design, the maple neck features a comfortable medium ‘60 Style Oval C profile with a slab Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, 10” radius and 6105 fret wire. The result is an incredibly balanced playing experience - vintage in spirit, though fast and effortless under the fingers. At just under 7 3\/4 lbs as specified on the original traveller sheet, the guitar feels lively, resonant and extremely responsive acoustically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1357\" data-end=\"1847\"\u003eTonally, the guitar delivers everything you would hope for from a top-tier Custom Shop Strat. The handwound John Cruz Limited pickups produce glassy neck tones, punchy and articulate in-between positions and a bridge pickup with notably more authority thanks to the modern wiring and Tone 2 bridge configuration. There is plenty of classic Strat chime and compression here, though with a richer midrange character and slightly more refined top end than many production Custom Shop examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"2289\"\u003eTodd Krause’s reputation speaks for itself. Known for building instruments for Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and countless top-level professional musicians, Krause-built guitars consistently sit at the very top of Fender Custom Shop desirability. Combined with the Wildwood 10 specifications and Brazilian rosewood slab board, this is a seriously high-end Custom Shop Stratocaster that delivers equally as a player and collector-grade instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2291\" data-end=\"2378\"\u003eIncludes original Fender Custom Shop case, COA and original shop floor traveller sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2380\" data-end=\"2386\"\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2388\" data-end=\"2407\"\u003eAction at 1st Fret: 0.25mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2429\"\u003eAction at 12th Fret: 1.75mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2431\" data-end=\"2454\"\u003eNeck Depth at 1st Fret: 22.13mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2456\" data-end=\"2480\"\u003eNeck Depth at 12th Fret: 24.99mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2482\" data-end=\"2492\"\u003eNut Width: 41.95mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2494\" data-end=\"2513\"\u003eWidth at 12th Fret: 51.47mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2515\" data-end=\"2522\"\u003eWeight: 3305g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2524\" data-end=\"2577\"\u003eModel: Wildwood 10 ‘59 Stratocaster Relic Masterbuilt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2579\" data-end=\"2605\"\u003eMasterbuilder: Todd Krause\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2607\" data-end=\"2617\"\u003eYear: 2008\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2619\" data-end=\"2648\"\u003eFinish: Faded 3-Tone Sunburst\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2650\" data-end=\"2661\"\u003eBody: Alder\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2663\" data-end=\"2699\"\u003eFinish Type: Thin Skin Lacquer Relic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2701\" data-end=\"2712\"\u003eNeck: Maple\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2714\" data-end=\"2744\"\u003eNeck Profile: ‘60 Style Oval C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2746\" data-end=\"2782\"\u003eFingerboard: Slab Brazilian Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"2807\"\u003eFingerboard Radius: 10”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2809\" data-end=\"2818\"\u003eFrets: 21\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2820\" data-end=\"2841\"\u003eFret Wire: Sanko 6105\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2843\" data-end=\"2862\"\u003eScale Length: 25.5”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2864\" data-end=\"2881\"\u003eNut Width: 1.650”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2883\" data-end=\"2933\"\u003ePickups: Handwound John Cruz Limited Strat Pickups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2935\" data-end=\"2979\"\u003eControls: Volume, Tone, Tone, 5-Way Selector\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2981\" data-end=\"3017\"\u003eBridge: American Vintage Strat Relic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3019\" data-end=\"3052\"\u003eTuners: Vintage Fender Logo Relic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3054\" data-end=\"3087\"\u003ePickguard: Mint Green Nitro Relic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3089\" data-end=\"3118\"\u003eHardware: Chrome\/Nickel Relic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3120\" data-end=\"3158\"\u003eCase: Original Fender Custom Shop Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3160\" data-end=\"3173\"\u003eCOA: Included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3175\" data-end=\"3223\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eAccessories: Original Shop Floor Traveller Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47071446958233,"sku":"26085","price":11995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/1905\/6012\/files\/1_13.png?v=1779865850","url":"https:\/\/www.premierguitars.com.au\/products\/fender-custom-shop-todd-krause-stratocaster-relic-wildwood-10-59-usa-2008","provider":"Premier Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
