IMG_2242.jpg IMG_2246.jpg IMG_2244.jpg IMG_2245.jpg	Masterbuilt 1955 Stratocaster NOS This is the ultimate 2-tone Strat! We took a beautiful, lightweight ash body and had Greg Fessler finish it in a stunning 2-tone sunburst. This guitar weighs in at 7lbs, 11oz and is really resonant!

IMG_2237.jpg IMG_2240.jpg IMG_2238.jpg IMG_2239.jpg	Masterbuilt 1956 Stratocaster Closet Classic A replica of a rare Fender color! Fender made very, very few guitars in Taos Turquoise, I had Greg Fessler make us a faithful reproduction in "light" Closet Classic. Unlike most Closet Classic guitars on the market, this one is not lacquer checked or dinged up, the hardware is gently aged and the finish is dulled, just like an original that was lovingly cared for! We also added a 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets to make it more playable and asked for a premium lightweight body, she came in at a mere 7lbs 8oz. Grab it up! View Photos! $0.00
