Description
The Carlos Lopez Masterbuilt Custom '60 Ultra-Relic Stratocaster represents the pinnacle of guitar craftsmanship by one of Fender Custom Shop's most respected and in demand builders. This unique one-of-a-kind instrument was created specifically for the Fender Custom Shop Summer 2021 Dealer Event and awarded exclusively to Cream City Music.
In Carlos's own words this guitar "This is my version of the perfect Stratocaster. If you're looking for something different and unique in a Strat, this is it"
This guitar is unique in many ways: A 2 piece select alder body, a flat-lam rosewood fingerboard, and a maple 10/56 "V" neck by appointed by Carlos himself as a profile not common to this era of Stratocaster. It's 12" radius makes it perfect for both classic and modern playing styles. The pickup set is also unique with one-of-a-kind 'Josefina' Fat '60s hand-wound single coil pickups that are wound differently than Fender Custom's stock Fat '60s. Carlos oversaw their creation which yielded a "better balanced sound than typical Fat '60s, a bit overwound, more articulate, and more low end."
Simply put, this guitar is both a work of art and piece of Fender's rich and iconic history. Only one in the world exists. Make it yours today.
