Description
This Masterbuilt Stratocaster from Austin MacNutt is a one-of-a-kind expression of Fender Custom Shop craftsmanship; it's built for the player who lives for vintage soul but demands something that turns heads. Whether you're an experienced stage performer, a tone chaser, or a serious collector, this Strat is a stunning marriage of timeless feel and fiery, modern attitude.
At its heart is a breathtaking Blue Ice Metallic finish over a AAA flame maple top that's been stained to reveal vivid, three-dimensional figuring. It's got that "Closet Classic" magic; just enough wear to feel broken-in, but pristine where it counts. This build isn't just about looks, though, under the hood, it's packing a set of hand-wound Poblano pickups by Josefina Campos, wired up with a blender circuit for expanded tonal options that go far beyond the standard 5-way.
The custom neck, shaped to a '66 Strat Oval C profile, offers a comfortable taper from .840" at the first fret to .974" at the 12th, paired with a 9.5" radius and medium jumbo frets for smooth bends and precision playing. The nitro-finished rosewood fingerboard feels responsive and fast, and the upgraded vintage tremolo gives you expressive control with rock-solid tuning stability.
This Strat doesn't just sound and play like a dream; it tells a story. From the silver anodized aluminum pickguard to the custom-painted headcap, every detail adds a layer of attitude and identity that makes it unmistakably yours.
Cream City Music is proud to offer this extraordinary example of what a Stratocaster can be when built by a master. It's not just a guitar; it's a statement.
