Check out this stunning Strat!

This beauty is a 2016 Fender Custom Shop - Dealer Select Wildwood 10 - 1961 Strat with a Heavy Relic Aztec Gold over Pink Paisley finish!  Wildwood specs out some absolutely fantastic Fender Custom Shop exclusive builds, and this one is no slouch!  

The guitar is 100% original with no modifications and no signs of abuse. Freshly setup and restrung by our Fender-authorized repair shop, it plays great! Fretwear is absolutely minimal and not affecting intonation or playability. This one has Wildwood's 60's "C" neck, and here is the info directly from them:

"Mid-60s C – The mid-60s C neck profile measures roughly .790″ at the first fret to .930″ at the twelfth fret. It’s the slimmest of the Wildwood 10 neck profiles, and the shape is similar to Fender’s ’65 neck shape ( .842″- .970″ ) but not quite as large."

Here is what they say about their '61 model:

"By 1961, the Stratocaster was fast on its way to becoming a cultural mainstay after Strat-slingers like Hank Marvin took the airwaves by storm. The sixties were also an exciting time for Stratocaster design, as Leo and company outfitted them with rosewood fretboards for the first time. The rosewood produced a sweet attack that spoke to everyone from Hendrix to SRV! Our Wildwood 10 1961 Stratocasters pay tribute to the great Strat boom of the sixties, and we think they embody the sweet sounds of that era to a T. We have a wide variety of colors, relic’d finishes, and neck profiles on tap, so we invite you to browse away and find a Strat that plucks your heartstrings. Once you do, we’re sure you’ll fall under the spell of the Wildwood 1961 Stratocaster."

This guitar has John Cruz Fender Custom Shop pickups - have you seen the prices going up on anything John Cruz built while he was at Fender? We have, and we expect anything with his pickups in it to continue to increase in value! 

Further adding to the awesomeness of the guitar is that Greg Koch played it in a Wildwood video that can be seen here: https://youtu.be/BGaCcRVnHRk?si=JM_eUZ4T8jZrCaYl
