More importantly, the two Fender Custom P-90s are jam-packed with sweet sonic flavor. The bridge position has full frequency response across the board. The low mids have plenty of grunt, the highs are lush and sparkly, and the lows have a satisfying boom. In the neck position, and you can hear the upper mids quack above the strong foundation laid by the powerful low mids. The neck pickup's trebles are surprisingly rich and colorful, and the low-end is warm and clear. Both pickups showcase exceptional touch-sensitivity, and you can make the guitar punch in a more focused way by hitting harder. Overall, this is quite a balanced guitar, and it marries the P-90s' rich, midrange-forward tone with classic Tele snappiness perfectly. And, it looks good doing it! Anyone looking for a beautiful Fender equipped with P-90s will love this serial. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51184112926995,"sku":"CZ538414","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/cz538414_lg1.jpg?v=1745598157"},{"product_id":"masterbuilt-greg-fessler-wildwood-10-1955-stratocaster-2","title":"Masterbuilt Greg Fessler Wildwood 10 1955 Stratocaster","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSonic Evaluation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis '55 Stratocaster is Fender Masterbuilder Greg Fessler's latest creation, and it is proof of his otherworldly talents as a luthier. What makes this Strat so remarkable is its ability to sound ferocious without any ugly frequencies sticking out. It's the textbook definition of a punchy Strat. The springy, articulate, woody attack hits your eardrums immediately after the pick touches the strings, after which the guitar's powerful resonance blooms with lightning quickness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe midrange is quite round, and even when you hit hard its difficult to make it sound spiky or edge-y. So, it never sounds harsh--just muscular. The high-end is just right, too: it has plenty of classic Strat chime, but not so much that the trebles overwhelm your ears. The low-end is Goldilocks-approved, too. It always sounds robust and full, but it never forgets its manners. This fearsome Fessler also showcases excellent note separation. If you play all six strings at once in a chord, you can hear each individual note ring out. All in all, this is an incredible Strat, and it is sure help some lucky Fender fanatic make lots of joyous noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Builder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreg Fessler came to the Fender Custom Shop in 1990 and worked his way up through the ranks as an apprentice. He assisted with the Robben Ford signature line of guitars. Eventually, he became the sole builder of those instruments before finally becoming the illustrious Mr. Ford’s own personal guitar-maker. Fessler has built one-off Stratocaster and Telecaster models for a host of players, including Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Healey, Hank Marvin, John Mayer, Rhonda Smith, Neil Schon and Pete Wentz. Fessler’s remarkable abilities have earned him accolades from many Fender artists and discerning customers worldwide, and every instrument he builds exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and intense commitment it takes to earn the title of Master Builder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51184257958163,"sku":"R98245","price":7399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r98245_lg1.jpg?v=1745598472"},{"product_id":"masterbuilt-wildwood-10-1961-stratocaster-by-todd-krause","title":"Masterbuilt Wildwood 10 1961 Stratocaster by Todd Krause","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMasterbuilt Mojo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen a master craftsman builds an instrument by hand all by themselves from start to finish, it imbues the instrument with a special brand of magical mojo that is easy to see, hear, and feel but hard to quantify.

Your support has allowed our friends at Fender to really break new ground and create something fresh, exciting, and bold. However, given that the concept of a \"Relic-Ready\" finish is relatively new to the world of guitars, we wanted to add some notes to clarify what you should expect from a Relic-Ready instrument. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelic-Ready finishes are much, much different than NOS finishes because they only have three or four layers of clear coat. Because the finish is so incredibly thin, Relic-Ready instruments begin the natural relic-ing process the moment they are fully assembled. Since these finishes are designed to wear quickly, sometimes Relic-Readies arrive at our shop having already begun their journey to vintage mojo. So, you can expect things like light dings, small spots where the finish has burned through, light scratching, and checking in the neck pocket. However, you can be assured that your instrument will NOT have any full-body checking from weather, deep scratches, or major dings\/blemishes. As always, if you'd like more information about the condition of each particular serial, please don't hesitate to reach out for an in-hand description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Relic-Readies, our idea was to allow the player to write their own story into the finish of each guitar. But, sometimes the process of getting the guitar to you adds a little foreword to the finish to help you get started. For more information about all things Relic-Ready, read on!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelic-Ready to Rumble\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, Wildwood Guitars has sold thousands of relic’d Fender guitars. The incredible response that we’ve gotten from our Wildwood Tens is proof that most of the guitar-playing world loves instruments that marry modern convenience with vintage look, feel, and sound. We’ve also learned that there are plenty of pickers out there that like the distressed vintage look, but feel a little strange about playing a guitar that they didn’t relic themselves through everyday use. For these guitarists, each ding and scratch is a punctuation mark in the story of their instrument, and they want to be in charge of what happens in the tale of their ax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously, this is easier said than done. If you want to make an NOS finish look vintage through good ‘ol fashioned playwear, you usually have to play it for so long that it actually becomes vintage in the process. You could put your guitar in a trash bag of burned leaves and relic it yourself like one of my coworkers, but your house will smell horrible the moment you bring it inside. Frankly, few people have enough resources, energy, or training to make it look as good as the Fender Custom Shop’s builders can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, these players have been in a pickle until now. How do you make a new guitar look vintage without having to wait thirty years or resort to crazy schemes involving bags of burning leaves? Well, we at Wildwood Guitars are proud to introduce our answer: a new line of Wildwood Tens that we have dubbed “relic-readies.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Custom Shop creations are just like the heavy-relic guitars that have been a shop staple for years—same wood, same electronics, same hardware, and same outstanding build quality—except we snatch them away from Fender before they have a chance to actually do the relic job. The result is a guitar that accumulates wear-and-tear at an exponentially higher rate than normal. So, it’ll look like a guitar that’s been gigged for thirty years after just a couple birthdays. Finally, YOU can be the one to make your guitar look vintage!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter playing and ogling the first batch of these guitars, we feel confident that this line is easily one of the coolest collaborations in the history of our friendship with Fender’s Custom Shop!

We invite you to browse our selection and experience the myriad delights the Wildwood 10 1957 Stratocaster has to offer.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup Rundown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWe believe that the Wildwood 10 Strat pickups our friends at Fender wind for us are some of the finest single-coils in the world. Here's a quick rundown of what makes them tick. They're slightly underwound, which gives them exceptional dynamic response and touch sensitivity. You can really alter your sound based on how hard you're hitting, which makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. However, they are wound with thicker wire like Fender did in the sixties, which gives them a little more power and guts despite being underwound. As a result, their voice is similar to vintage Strat pickups we love with lots of bell-like chime and vocal response, but with a little extra warmth and muscle. \n\n\n\nAlthough they are not exactly the same as a real vintage example, we think they capture the magic sound of a great vintage Strat, giving you access to the iconic sound that shaped countless classic records. We have no doubt they will make your heartstrings resonate!","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51197125394707,"sku":"R114383","price":4820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r114383_lg1.jpg?v=1745619004"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-1952-telecaster-33","title":"Wildwood 10 1952 Telecaster - Journeyman Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect 10\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nYears ago, we approached our friends at the Fender Custom Shop with a proposal: would they build us guitars that combined the mojo of a true-to-vintage reissue with modern handfeel and comfy modern ergonomics?

When we were trying to figure out what type of special sauce to put in our Wildwood 10 Tele pickups, the Twisted Tele was an easy choice for a starting point. Standard Twisted Teles have high output for fiery Tele tone, a dash of Strat-y sparkle, and excellent articulation. \n\n\n\nThat sounded like a good base to work from, so we asked our friends at the Custom Shop to send us some underwound versions with AlNiCo II magnets instead of the standard AlNiCo V, and we asked that Fender's resident pickup maestro, Josefina Campos, be the one to wind them. They sent us multiple guitars with different output levels, and the whole staff got together to put them through their paces and compare notes.

Well, for starters, the lower output makes them wonderfully touch-sensitive and dynamic, allowing you to alter your tone significantly using just your hands. But, they also have plenty of power because of the nature of the Twisted Tele. They're also unbelievably articulate, so they have that iconic woody Tele twang and capture every percussive detail of your right-hand attack. The bobbin for the bridge pickup is also shorter and the neck taller, which warms up the bridge and livens up the neck. Speaking of lively, the Wildwood 10 Twisted Teles have a Strat-like sparkliness, and they're similarly vocal. \n\n\n\nAs a result, the bridge pickup is punchy and has excellent presence with plenty of jangle, chime, and sparkle. But, it still sounds quite round with no ice-pick frequencies or harshness. The neck pickup is sweet, warm, and vocal, yet it also remains open, lively, and dynamic. \n\n\n\nTeles may be simple guitars, but the amazing thing about them is they always fit in no matter what you're doing musically. In that spirit, we believe the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele will allow you to cover just about any musical territory you want to adventure through, and its dynamic, iconic voice will inspire all sorts of musical joy.","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51198286758163,"sku":"R112757","price":4499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r112757_lg1.jpg?v=1745621073"},{"product_id":"2021-limited-1961-telecaster-relic","title":"2021 Limited 1961 Telecaster - Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Picture of Perfection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nForget the automobile, the fighter jet, and Cheez Whiz: the Fender Telecaster is the greatest invention of the last two centuries. That might sound hyperbolic, but it's really quite a reasonable thing to say. Every other great invention in the modern era has changed drastically after its initial birth. Model Ts share only four wheels and a steering wheel in common with modern Fords, and modern planes look like alien technology compared to the Wright Brothers' original contraption (and anyway, you can't play the blues on a fighter jet, so who cares, anyway?).\n\n\n\nBy contrast, the modern Telecaster is almost exactly the same as the first prototype Leo Fender built in 1950. More impressively, this guitar-which was originally built to cater to the tastes of Western swing guitarists before rock and roll was even a twinkle in Chuck Berry's eye-found devotees in every musical genre under the sun. What's the secret behind the wide-ranging, lasting appeal of the original design? Well, frankly, the answer is simple: the Telecaster is a perfect instrument, and you can't improve on perfection.\n\n\n\nOf course, hindsight is always 20\/20, and the Telecaster wasn't even close to a sure thing when it debuted. In fact, when Fred Gretsch first laid eyes on the Tele he said: \"that thing will never sell.\" When it was unveiled, players scoffed and called it a \"boat paddle\" and a \"snow shovel.\" We can forgive these pessimistic pickers for their skepticism; after all, in 1950, solid-body guitars were considered a novelty. Sure, Les Paul had his Log, and Merle Travis had his Bigsby solid-body, but there had never been a production-model solid-body guitar before. Hollow- and semi-hollowbodies ruled the guitar world, and it seemed ridiculous to imagine anything supplanting them.\n\n\n\nOf course, history would vindicate Leo. In the eight or so decades since the Telecaster's invention, it has been responsible for some of the most magical musical moments of all time. The solo on \"Stairway to Heaven,\" the crashing chords that open The Clash's \"Should I Stay or Should I Go,\" and the sweet fingerpicking on Jeff Buckley's transcendent version of \"Hallelujah\" all sprang from the fretboard of a Fender Telecaster. Everyone from heady punk rockers like D Boon to avant-jazz cats like Bill Frisell to soul sidemen like Steve Cropper to otherworldly virtuosos like Danny Gatton all adopted the Telecaster as their instrument of choice.\n\n\n\nSo, what is the source of the Telecaster's universal appeal across genres and its incredible staying power? What makes it so perfect? Two words: elegant simplicity. The Telecaster is an incredibly simple guitar. It's a plank of wood with a bolt-on neck, two pickups, two knobs, one switch, a bridge, and six tuners. It's a completely unpretentious workhorse that cuts a striking figure with its iconic rounded cutaway, clean lines, and curvy shape.\n\n\n\nYet despite its simplicity, it's one of the most versatile guitars on the planet. You can't cop a million sounds on a Telecaster, but the ones you can dial in work in just about any musical context. The bridge pickup usually has punchy midrange, cutting highs, and thumping bass, while the neck pickup has broader midrange response, smoother highs, and woodier, warmer bass response. The middle position is a balanced, full-sounding blend of the two. So, Telecaster players have an ideal bright, aggressive sound, a delightfully warm, mellow sound, and a pleasant middle ground between the two at their disposal at all times! When you get down to brass tacks, that's all you really need as a guitar player. With one three-way selector switch, you can get the right tones for just about any live gig or recording session, and look good doing it!\n\n\n\nWe're proud to showcase our selection of Telecasters for our exceptional customers, and we invite you to gaze at this gorgeous NAMM Limited '61 Telecaster. After a couple minutes of ogling, we think you'll agree: eight decades after its birth in Leo Fender's shop, the Telecaster is still the picture of perfection.","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51198686331155,"sku":"CZ555457","price":4700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/cz555457_lg1.jpg?v=1745621815"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-1957-stratocaster-journeyman-relic-3","title":"Wildwood 10 1957 Stratocaster - Journeyman Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect 10\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears ago, we approached our friends at the Fender Custom Shop with a proposal: would they build us guitars that combined the mojo of a true-to-vintage reissue with modern handfeel and comfy modern ergonomics?

This new tonewood's sweet, round-sounding attack provided a delightful new color for discerning players' palettes, and they took the musical world by storm.\n\n\n\nThese Wildwood 10 1959 Telecasters capture the trailblazing magic of those original '59s by pairing resonant tonewoods with Custom Shop electronics and period-correct neck shapes. But, they also have modern 10\" radii and narrow-tall 6105 frets, so they feel as good in your hands as any modern instrument. We have plenty of colors and finishes with varying levels of relic-ing, and several different neck profiles to choose from, so we invite you to take a gander at our selection of Wildwood 10 1959 Telecasters. We're sure you'll find a divine '59 that inspires you to reach new heights on your fretboard journey!\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup Rundown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWildwoodians, the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele pickups in this guitar are the winners of the most fearsome shootout since the OK Corral! When we were trying to figure out what type of special sauce to put in our Wildwood 10 Tele pickups, the Twisted Tele was an easy choice for a starting point. Standard Twisted Teles have high output for fiery Tele tone, a dash of Strat-y sparkle, and excellent articulation. \n\n\n\nThat sounded like a good base to work from, so we asked our friends at the Custom Shop to send us some underwound versions with AlNiCo II magnets instead of the standard AlNiCo V, and we asked that Fender's resident pickup maestro, Josefina Campos, be the one to wind them. They sent us multiple guitars with different output levels, and the whole staff got together to put them through their paces and compare notes. After a delightful Tele-filled afternoon, we reached a rare unanimous consensus, and these pickups emerged bloodstained from the octagon as the winner. \n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Do They Sound?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nHow did these pickups unite the notoriously opinionated Wildwood staff? Well, for starters, the lower output makes them wonderfully touch-sensitive and dynamic, allowing you to alter your tone significantly using just your hands. But, they also have plenty of power because of the nature of the Twisted Tele. They're also unbelievably articulate, so they have that iconic woody Tele twang and capture every percussive detail of your right-hand attack. The bobbin for the bridge pickup is also shorter and the neck taller, which warms up the bridge and livens up the neck. Speaking of lively, the Wildwood 10 Twisted Teles have a Strat-like sparkliness, and they're similarly vocal. \n\n\n\nAs a result, the bridge pickup is punchy and has excellent presence with plenty of jangle, chime, and sparkle. But, it still sounds quite round with no ice-pick frequencies or harshness. The neck pickup is sweet, warm, and vocal, yet it also remains open, lively, and dynamic. \n\n\n\nTeles may be simple guitars, but the amazing thing about them is they always fit in no matter what you're doing musically. In that spirit, we believe the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele will allow you to cover just about any musical territory you want to adventure through, and its dynamic, iconic voice will inspire all sorts of musical joy.","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51199188926739,"sku":"R116607","price":4820.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r116607_lg1.jpg?v=1745622865"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-1962-telecaster-custom-journeyman-relic-4","title":"Wildwood 10 1962 Telecaster Custom - Journeyman Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect 10\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nYears ago, we approached our friends at the Fender Custom Shop with a proposal: would they build us guitars that combined the mojo of a true-to-vintage reissue with modern handfeel and comfy modern ergonomics?

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.

Here's a quick rundown of what makes them tick. They're slightly underwound, which gives them exceptional dynamic response and touch sensitivity. You can really alter your sound based on how hard you're hitting, which makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. However, they are wound with thicker wire like Fender did in the sixties, which gives them a little more power and guts despite being underwound. As a result, their voice is similar to vintage Strat pickups we love with lots of bell-like chime and vocal response, but with a little extra warmth and muscle. \n\n\n\nAlthough they are not exactly the same as a real vintage example, we think they capture the magic sound of a great vintage Strat, giving you access to the iconic sound that shaped countless classic records. We have no doubt they will make your heartstrings resonate!","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51201045037331,"sku":"R118342","price":5120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r118342_lg1.jpg?v=1745626147"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-1962-telecaster-custom-127","title":"Wildwood 10 1962 Telecaster Custom - Heavy Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect 10\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nYears ago, we approached our friends at the Fender Custom Shop with a proposal: would they build us guitars that combined the mojo of a true-to-vintage reissue with modern handfeel and comfy modern ergonomics?

Your support has allowed our friends at Fender to really break new ground and create something fresh, exciting, and bold. However, given that the concept of a \"Relic-Ready\" finish is relatively new to the world of guitars, we wanted to add some notes to clarify what you should expect from a Relic-Ready instrument. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelic-Ready finishes are much, much different than NOS finishes because they only have three or four layers of clear coat. Because the finish is so incredibly thin, Relic-Ready instruments begin the natural relic-ing process the moment they are fully assembled. Since these finishes are designed to wear quickly, sometimes Relic-Readies arrive at our shop having already begun their journey to vintage mojo. So, you can expect things like light dings, small spots where the finish has burned through, light scratching, and checking in the neck pocket. However, you can be assured that your instrument will NOT have any full-body checking from weather, deep scratches, or major dings\/blemishes. As always, if you'd like more information about the condition of each particular serial, please don't hesitate to reach out for an in-hand description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Relic-Readies, our idea was to allow the player to write their own story into the finish of each guitar. But, sometimes the process of getting the guitar to you adds a little foreword to the finish to help you get started. For more information about all things Relic-Ready, read on!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelic-Ready to Rumble\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, Wildwood Guitars has sold thousands of relic’d Fender guitars. The incredible response that we’ve gotten from our Wildwood Tens is proof that most of the guitar-playing world loves instruments that marry modern convenience with vintage look, feel, and sound. We’ve also learned that there are plenty of pickers out there that like the distressed vintage look, but feel a little strange about playing a guitar that they didn’t relic themselves through everyday use. For these guitarists, each ding and scratch is a punctuation mark in the story of their instrument, and they want to be in charge of what happens in the tale of their ax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eObviously, this is easier said than done. If you want to make an NOS finish look vintage through good ‘ol fashioned playwear, you usually have to play it for so long that it actually becomes vintage in the process. You could put your guitar in a trash bag of burned leaves and relic it yourself like one of my coworkers, but your house will smell horrible the moment you bring it inside. Frankly, few people have enough resources, energy, or training to make it look as good as the Fender Custom Shop’s builders can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, these players have been in a pickle until now. How do you make a new guitar look vintage without having to wait thirty years or resort to crazy schemes involving bags of burning leaves? Well, we at Wildwood Guitars are proud to introduce our answer: a new line of Wildwood Tens that we have dubbed “relic-readies.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Custom Shop creations are just like the heavy-relic guitars that have been a shop staple for years—same wood, same electronics, same hardware, and same outstanding build quality—except we snatch them away from Fender before they have a chance to actually do the relic job. The result is a guitar that accumulates wear and tear at an exponentially higher rate than normal. So, it’ll look like a guitar that’s been gigged for thirty years after just a couple birthdays. Finally, YOU can be the one to make your guitar look vintage!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter playing and ogling the first batch of these guitars, we feel confident that this line is easily one of the coolest collaborations in the history of our friendship with Fender’s Custom Shop! At Wildwood, we’ve been doing our best to tell our guitars’ stories as faithfully as we can for thirty-four years. Now, we are excited to step aside and give the reins to our exceptional customers. What sort of interesting tales will you carve into these finishes? We can’t wait to find out with you!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect 10\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears ago, we approached our friends at the Fender Custom Shop with a proposal: would they build us guitars that combined the mojo of a true-to-vintage reissue with modern handfeel and comfy modern ergonomics? They were enthused about the idea, and the Wildwood 10 was born. Thanks to the Custom Shop’s incredible craftsmanship and artistry, these guitars look gorgeous, sound killer, and play like butter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of these Custom Shop creations features a thin fifties-style nitrocellulose finish, which allows the voice of the resonant hand-selected tonewoods to shine through. They also have hand-wound Custom Shop pickups that are sure to inspire you to reach new heights on your sonic journey. Wildwood 10s feel great in your hands, too. Their modern 10” radius is suitable for a wide variety of styles and techniques, and their 6105 narrow-tall frets allow you to expend less energy with your left hand, especially when bending strings. To top it all off, they come with a limited edition Dealer Select Wildwood 10 hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDivine Fifty-Nines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the tail-end of the 1950s, the Telecaster had cemented its place as an American icon. Ever the innovator, Leo Fender decided to tweak the already-legendary Tele tone formula by introducing a rosewood fretboard. This new tonewood's sweet, round-sounding attack provided a delightful new color for discerning players' palettes, and they took the musical world by storm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Wildwood 10 1959 Telecasters capture the trailblazing magic of those original '59s by pairing resonant tonewoods with Custom Shop electronics and period-correct neck shapes. But, they also have modern 10\" radii and narrow-tall 6105 frets, so they feel as good in your hands as any modern instrument. We have plenty of colors and finishes with varying levels of relic-ing, and several different neck profiles to choose from, so we invite you to take a gander at our selection of Wildwood 10 1959 Telecasters. We're sure you'll find a divine '59 that inspires you to reach new heights on your fretboard journey!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup Rundown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWildwoodians, the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele pickups in this guitar are the winners of the most fearsome shootout since the OK Corral! When we were trying to figure out what type of special sauce to put in our Wildwood 10 Tele pickups, the Twisted Tele was an easy choice for a starting point. Standard Twisted Teles have high output for fiery Tele tone, a dash of Strat-y sparkle, and excellent articulation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat sounded like a good base to work from, so we asked our friends at the Custom Shop to send us some underwound versions with AlNiCo II magnets instead of the standard AlNiCo V, and we asked that Fender’s resident pickup maestro, Josefina Campos, be the one to wind them. They sent us multiple guitars with different output levels, and the whole staff got together to put them through their paces and compare notes. After a delightful Tele-filled afternoon, we reached a rare unanimous consensus, and these pickups emerged bloodstained from the octagon as the winner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Do They Sound?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow did these pickups unite the notoriously opinionated Wildwood staff? Well, for starters, the lower output makes them wonderfully touch-sensitive and dynamic, allowing you to alter your tone significantly using just your hands. But, they also have plenty of power because of the nature of the Twisted Tele. They’re also unbelievably articulate, so they have that iconic woody Tele twang and capture every percussive detail of your right-hand attack. The bobbin for the bridge pickup is also shorter and the neck taller, which warms up the bridge and livens up the neck. Speaking of lively, the Wildwood 10 Twisted Teles have a Strat-like sparkliness, and they’re similarly vocal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, the bridge pickup is punchy and has excellent presence with plenty of jangle, chime, and sparkle. But, it still sounds quite round with no ice-pick frequencies or harshness. The neck pickup is sweet, warm, and vocal, yet it also remains open, lively, and dynamic. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeles may be simple guitars, but the amazing thing about them is they always fit in no matter what you’re doing musically.

Though the Stratocaster became a runaway hit after hitmakers like Buddy Holly toted them on stage, Leo Fender's tireless commitment to excellence led him to introduce a number of improvements to the Stratocaster's design. In a quest to cater to players' demands, he introduced a soft V-shaped neck profile, and he started building some of the bodies out of alder. Our Wildwood 10 1957 Stratocasters pay homage to Leo Fender's relentless work ethic by replicating the glories of the original heavenly '57s.

Here's a quick rundown of what makes them tick. They're slightly underwound, which gives them exceptional dynamic response and touch sensitivity. You can really alter your sound based on how hard you're hitting, which makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. However, they are wound with thicker wire like Fender did in the sixties, which gives them a little more power and guts despite being underwound. As a result, their voice is similar to vintage Strat pickups we love with lots of bell-like chime and vocal response, but with a little extra warmth and muscle. \n\n\n\nAlthough they are not exactly the same as a real vintage example, we think they capture the magic sound of a great vintage Strat, giving you access to the iconic sound that shaped countless classic records.

In everything from surf music to shoegaze to new wave to indie music, the Jazzmaster has formed the sonic backbone of many classic records, and its offset body is the picture of cool.\n\n\n\nOur Wildwood 10 Jazzmasters from the Fender Custom Shop capture the inimitable vibe of their vintage forebears while providing incredible modern playability. They feature ridiculously resonant, high-quality tonewoods wearing fifties-style nitrocellulose lacquer finishes that allow the guitar to breathe and resonate like nobody's business. They also have pickups with real flatpole magnets to capture that classic Jazzmaster sound.\n\n\n\nThe wizard-like luthiers at the Fender Custom Shop have also outfitted these guitars with a Wildwood-exclusive 10\" radius and narrow-tall 6105 frets, a configuration that facilitates just about every style and technique under the sun. So, these Wildwood 10 Jazzmasters blend comfortable ergonomics with vintage vibe in a truly inspiring way. We invite you to browse through our offset offerings and see what colors, neck shapes, and relic'd finishes inspire you. We're sure you'll find one that tickles your eardrums!\n\n\u003ch2\u003eJazzmaster Tone Explained, Once and For All\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nLet's address the elephant in the room: what exactly makes a Jazzmaster sound like a Jazzmaster? More importantly, why does the Wildwood 10 Jazzmaster provide such a sterling example of Jazzmaster tone? Well, it has to do with the inimitable alchemy between the floating vibrato and the oft-imitated, never-duplicated sound of the Jazzmaster's flagpole magnet pickups. Though they are often mistaken for P-90s or humbuckers, Jazzmaster pickups are a unique design. They have flat, wide poles with lots of surface area, which gives them a fatter bass response and a more robust midrange while maintaining the clarity and sparkle that Fender single-coils are known for--which makes sense, given that they were originally designed to be used for jazz!\n\n\n\nThis thick frequency response interacts in an inspiring way with the sonic idiosyncrasies caused by the bridge's design. The Jazzmaster bridge was originally built to give players maximum percussiveness, clarity, and articulation on the front end of their notes. It accomplished this in spades, but the geometry of the bridge also caused the guitar to lose a little bit of body at the beginning of the note. So, Jazzmasters have a clear, focused, bright initial tone that thickens up and becomes lush and full almost immediately as the note sustains and blooms.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eA Versatile Voice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nOur friends at Fender equipped these Wildwood 10s with RSD bridges and Custom Shop flagpole magnet pickups to ensure they have this same combination of articulation and full harmonic response as a vintage example. This allows them to excel at everything from jangly dream pop to blissful fuzzed-out rock to reverb-laden surf to twangy country to screaming blues to warm jazz. Like the best vintage examples, they sing with a completely singular voice, yet they seldom sound out of place--a testament to the strength of the Jazzmaster's personality. How ironic: a guitar that was often cast as the black sheep of the Fender family finally managed to become a staple in American music precisely because it is so unique!\n\n\n\nThe fine craftspeople of the Fender Custom Shop have imbued these guitars with the same iconic sounds as the Jazzmasters of yore, and we know they will inspire you to create and innovate in ways you never thought possible. We invite you to take a walk on the wild side with the Wildwood 10 Jazzmaster--we know you'll see why they have achieved their legendary status within a couple of strums.","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51203518726419,"sku":"R122359","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r122359_lg1.jpg?v=1745630634"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-1951-nocaster-h-s-heavy-relic-2","title":"Wildwood 10 1951 Nocaster H\/S - Heavy Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect 10\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears ago, we approached our friends at the Fender Custom Shop with a proposal: would they build us guitars that combined the mojo of a true-to-vintage reissue with modern handfeel and comfy modern ergonomics?

Leo was going to call it the Broadcaster, but the threat of a lawsuit from Gretsch (who produced a drum set called the Broadkaster) forced him to abandon that plan. Ever the resourceful (and frugal) businessman, Leo simply snipped the word “Broadcaster” off the headstock decal and shipped his nameless guitars out. Since the guitars had no model name, musicians dubbed them “Nocasters.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of their incredible rarity, original Nocasters have become some of the most desirable vintage pieces out there.

When we were trying to figure out what type of special sauce to put in our Wildwood 10 Tele pickups, the Twisted Tele was an easy choice for a starting point. Standard Twisted Teles have high output for fiery Tele tone, a dash of Strat-y sparkle, and excellent articulation. \n\n\n\nThat sounded like a good base to work from, so we asked our friends at the Custom Shop to send us some underwound versions with AlNiCo II magnets instead of the standard AlNiCo V, and we asked that Fender's resident pickup maestro, Josefina Campos, be the one to wind them. They sent us multiple guitars with different output levels, and the whole staff got together to put them through their paces and compare notes. After a delightful Tele-filled afternoon, we reached a rare unanimous consensus, and these pickups emerged bloodstained from the octagon as the winner. \n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Do They Sound?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nHow did these pickups unite the notoriously opinionated Wildwood staff? Well, for starters, the lower output makes them wonderfully touch-sensitive and dynamic, allowing you to alter your tone significantly using just your hands. But, they also have plenty of power because of the nature of the Twisted Tele. They're also unbelievably articulate, so they have that iconic woody Tele twang and capture every percussive detail of your right-hand attack. The bobbin for the bridge pickup is also shorter and the neck taller, which warms up the bridge and livens up the neck. Speaking of lively, the Wildwood 10 Twisted Teles have a Strat-like sparkliness, and they're similarly vocal. \n\n\n\nAs a result, the bridge pickup is punchy and has excellent presence with plenty of jangle, chime, and sparkle. But, it still sounds quite round with no ice-pick frequencies or harshness. The neck pickup is sweet, warm, and vocal, yet it also remains open, lively, and dynamic. \n\n\n\nTeles may be simple guitars, but the amazing thing about them is they always fit in no matter what you're doing musically.

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.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup Rundown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWe believe that the Wildwood 10 Strat pickups our friends at Fender wind for us are some of the finest single-coils in the world. Here's a quick rundown of what makes them tick. They're slightly underwound, which gives them exceptional dynamic response and touch sensitivity. You can really alter your sound based on how hard you're hitting, which makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. However, they are wound with thicker wire like Fender did in the sixties, which gives them a little more power and guts despite being underwound. As a result, their voice is similar to vintage Strat pickups we love with lots of bell-like chime and vocal response, but with a little extra warmth and muscle. \n\n\n\nAlthough they are not exactly the same as a real vintage example, we think they capture the magic sound of a great vintage Strat, giving you access to the iconic sound that shaped countless classic records. We have no doubt they will make your heartstrings resonate!","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51204168745235,"sku":"R119789","price":5140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/r119789_lg1.jpg?v=1745631853"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-1962-telecaster-custom-heavy-relic-31","title":"Wildwood 10 1962 Telecaster Custom - Heavy Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect 10\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nYears ago, we approached our friends at the Fender Custom Shop with a proposal: would they build us guitars that combined the mojo of a true-to-vintage reissue with modern handfeel and comfy modern ergonomics?

While nothing in the tone formula needed to be tweaked (hey, no need to fix what isn't broken, right?), Fender did want to put a more refined spin on the Telecaster. Enter the Custom Telecaster, a guitar that was essentially the tried-and-true Tele design dressed up in its evening best. By adding binding to the top and back of a resonant ash or alder body, Fender imparted a little extra elegance to the Tele design for a slight upcharge.\n\n\n\nOur Wildwood 10 1962 Custom Telecaster captures the sophisticated looks and classic tone of the sixties originals.

Well, for starters, the lower output makes them wonderfully touch-sensitive and dynamic, allowing you to alter your tone significantly using just your hands. But, they also have plenty of power because of the nature of the Twisted Tele. They're also unbelievably articulate, so they have that iconic woody Tele twang and capture every percussive detail of your right-hand attack. The bobbin for the bridge pickup is also shorter and the neck taller, which warms up the bridge and livens up the neck. Speaking of lively, the Wildwood 10 Twisted Teles have a Strat-like sparkliness, and they're similarly vocal. \n\n\n\nAs a result, the bridge pickup is punchy and has excellent presence with plenty of jangle, chime, and sparkle.

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.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup Rundown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWe believe that the Wildwood 10 Strat pickups our friends at Fender wind for us are some of the finest single-coils in the world. Here's a quick rundown of what makes them tick. They're slightly underwound, which gives them exceptional dynamic response and touch sensitivity. You can really alter your sound based on how hard you're hitting, which makes for a wonderfully expressive playing experience. However, they are wound with thicker wire like Fender did in the sixties, which gives them a little more power and guts despite being underwound. As a result, their voice is similar to vintage Strat pickups we love with lots of bell-like chime and vocal response, but with a little extra warmth and muscle. \n\n\n\nAlthough they are not exactly the same as a real vintage example, we think they capture the magic sound of a great vintage Strat, giving you access to the iconic sound that shaped countless classic records. We have no doubt they will make your heartstrings resonate!","brand":"Fender Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51208950153491,"sku":"R130446","price":4725.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/5824\/5651\/files\/R130446_lg1.jpg?v=1745641010"},{"product_id":"wildwood-10-1959-telecaster-heavy-relic-8","title":"Wildwood 10 1959 Telecaster - Heavy Relic","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Perfect 10\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears ago, we approached our friends at the Fender Custom Shop with a proposal: would they build us guitars that combined the mojo of a true-to-vintage reissue with modern handfeel and comfy modern ergonomics?

Leo was going to call it the Broadcaster, but the threat of a lawsuit from Gretsch (who produced a drum set called the Broadkaster) forced him to abandon that plan. Ever the resourceful (and frugal) businessman, Leo simply snipped the word \"Broadcaster\" off the headstock decal and shipped his nameless guitars out. Since the guitars had no model name, musicians dubbed them \"Nocasters.\"\n\n\n\nBecause of their incredible rarity, original Nocasters have become some of the most desirable vintage pieces out there. So, we decided to team up with our friends at the Fender Custom Shop and issue a Wildwood 10 version that marries the vibe of the originals with modern ergonomics. The Wildwood-exclusive 10\" radius and 6105 frets are a perfect pairing with the '60 Oval C profile, and the Custom Shop hand-wound Twisted Tele pickups deliver spectacular sounds. We're sure you'll find a Nocaster here that will grab you by your heartstrings, so we invite you to browse away-just make sure your keyboard drool shield is in place!\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePickup Rundown\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nWildwoodians, the Hand-Wound Wildwood 10 Twisted Tele pickups in this guitar are the winners of the most fearsome shootout since the OK Corral!
