Fender Custom Shop 50's Stratocaster Dennis Galuszka Masterbuilt Black over Violin Burst Heavy Relic

The Fender Custom Shop offers you the opportunity to have a guitar built entirely according to your wishes. You can of course choose one of the well-known colors from Fender's past and have an exact replica of an old model made, but you can also go all out when it comes to specs. And we did exactly the latter for this Masterbuilt Stratocaster!

Dennis Galuszka is a renowned luthier at Fender's Custom Shop, a division of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation that specializes in creating high-quality and custom guitars. Galuszka began his career at Fender in the 1990s and became one of the most respected and experienced master builders in the Custom Shop.

For this Masterbuilt Stratocaster, Dennis Galuszka was inspired by the iconic models of the mid-1950s, but with a good dose of extra flair! The ash body has a Heavy Relic Black over Violin Burst finish that forms a spectacular combination with the gold-colored aluminum pickguard. The roasted Birdseye maple neck has a relatively thick C-profile, and we can only say that it is a wonderfully comfortable profile! The 12 inch radius also makes the guitar wonderfully playable higher up the neck, so bring on those guitar solos!

After all, three 50's-style single coils hand-wound by Josefina Campos provide a beautiful sound that can suit any genre, and thanks to the five-way switch, the popular intermediate positions are also easy to reach. The bridge pickup also features a tone control for added versatility. The guitar comes with a Fender Custom Shop certificate in a Fender Tweed case.
