Description

Drenched in vintage cool and radiating pure sonic bliss, the Fender Custom Shop Master Built 1969 Stratocaster Relic in Sea Foam Green is a surf-rock dream machine with a soul straight out of the golden era of guitar tone. Hand-crafted by none other than Master Builder Greg Fessler, this Strat is a testament to Fender’s deep-rooted legacy, combining classic aesthetics with modern playability. Fessler, a true artisan of the six-string world, has spent decades fine-tuning guitars for legends like Robben Ford, Jeff Beck, and Carlos Santana—his meticulous attention to detail and passion for perfection shine through every inch of this stunning instrument.

Dressed in an ultra-cool Sea Foam Green nitrocellulose lacquer finish, the Select Alder body rings with warmth and resonance, while the quartersawn maple neck—shaped into a bold 1969 "U" profile—delivers that unmistakable vintage feel. The 9.5" radius maple fingerboard, loaded with 21 narrow/tall 6105 frets, is built for effortless bends and smooth, expressive phrasing. Under the hood, a trio of Josefina Handwound '69 Strat pickups breathe life into every note, offering bell-like clarity, chimey highs, and the signature spank that defined an era. The 5-way blade switch unlocks a palette of tones, while the vintage-style synchronized tremolo and Schaller® F tuners keep everything dialed in for deep dives and shimmering vibrato.

Topped off with a slick tortoise shell pickguard, aged white control knobs, and a rock-solid bone nut, this 7 lb 6 oz Strat is a time machine of sound and style. Whether you're chasing Hendrix-inspired leads or drenching your tone in reverb for the ultimate surf sound, this Greg Fessler Master Built masterpiece is a one-way ticket to vintage Strat heaven. Comes complete with a deluxe hard case—because an instrument this legendary deserves nothing less.
