The Masterbuilt models are made by a singular master craftsman, in contrast to other \"team built\" Custom Shop tiers.\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nThis Strat was handcrafted by Yuriy Shishkov: rising from his humble origins building guitars in a Soviet-era Belarusian root cellar to his current status as Principal Master Builder, Shishkov has crafted instruments for Jimmy Page, Dimebag Darrell, and Paul Stanley, to name just a few. This particular ‘60s Strat features a gloss Shoreline Gold nitro lacquer finish with Fender’s Journeyman relic treatment, white-on-black plastics, and gold hardware.\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e \nTonewoods include a two-piece alder body, a maple neck, and a slab AAA rosewood fretboard. The trio of hand-wound Custom Shop Fat ‘50s single coil pickups are wound by Josefina Campos, Fender's most celebrated current pickup winder and the protege of Abigail Ybarra. The pickups feature staggered hand-beveled pole pieces for balanced output, Alnico 5 magnets for enhanced dynamics, and a reverse-wound middle pickup to cancel out hum in the second and fourth positions.
