Used 2024 Fender Masterbuilt 1960 Stratocaster by Dale Wilson – Closet Classic
Sonic Evaluation
Dale Wilson-built instruments are always dangerous, and this elegant white Strat is licensed to kill! It definitely falls into the throatier, meatier category of Strats, with round, booming lows, vocal midrange, and sizzling highs. The bridge pickup has a beautiful sparkle/bite combo, the middle pickup packs a big-fisted punch with an open high-end, and the neck pickups is laden with gristle but still sings sweetly. The in-between settings have that signature Strat cluck, quack, and chirp in spades, too! If you're looking for a muscular Strat, this Dale Wilson '60 will send you straight to the danger zone!
Masterbuilt Marvels
When 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. They reflect the individual personality of the builder so much that they attain distinctly human quality that makes them feel like an old friend from the moment you pick them up. It’s almost as if they have souls of their own, and nowhere is this soulfulness more evident than in our collection of Fender Masterbuilt instruments.
Each of the instruments you see on this page is the product of decades of hard work and an endless supply of passion. The people who currently hold the title of Masterbuilder have all spent years learning the ropes from the masters that came before them until they climbed the ranks and reached the upper echelon of elite guitar builders. They are some of the most adept craftspeople in the industry, and their skilled hands imbue the instruments they build with the sort of dynamic response and expressiveness that you normally only find in vintage instruments.
This guitar has been built to the exacting standards of Dale Wilson, one of the most meticulous craftspeople in the world, and it has a heart and soul that reflects the personality of its builder. We’re proud to present this 2024 Masterbuilt 1960 Stratocaster by Dale Wilson, and we know its timeless tone and superior playability will provide you with years and years of musical joy.
