Personal Thoughts:
Greg Fessler's masterbuilt work is always impeccable, and this '64 Reissue Strat is no exception. The heavy relic finish gives it the perfect worn-in vibe without going over the top—just the right amount of road-worn charm.
What makes this one truly special is the set of Abigail Ybarra–signed hand-wound pickups. These are legendary for a reason—chimey, expressive, and dripping with vintage character. They deliver a warm, dynamic response and authentic '60s sparkle that elevates this Strat far beyond standard Custom Shop fare.
The neck is ultra-comfortable with its mid-’60s "C" profile, paired with a dark slab rosewood fingerboard that feels and looks amazing. This is a collector-grade instrument that also happens to be an absolute joy to play.
Condition Report:
In excellent condition for a 2009 Masterbuilt—this guitar was clearly cherished. The relic’ing is factory-applied, and there's no additional wear beyond that. Frets are in great shape with minimal signs of play. Electronics are clean and fully functional. Includes original brown Tolex Custom Shop case, certificate, and all case candy.
