This fearsome Fessler is in fabulous condition! It light signs of normal use, and it has no cosmetic flaws to report. The frets show virtually zero wear, too! It comes with its original hardshell case and a certificate of authenticity, too!
This '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.
The 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.
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 Greg Fessler, one of the most meticulous craftspeople in the world, and it has a heart and soul that reflects the personality of its builder.
Years 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. Each 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.
Fender first introduced the Stratocaster in 1954, but they didn't really hit their stride until 1955 when they locked in the perfect formula for optimum sonic horsepower and good looks. The Wildwood 10 1955 Stratocasters pay homage to these legendary original Strats. Many have also been lovingly relic'd by the masterful Custom Shop team, so they have oodles of vintage vibe. Nevertheless, they feel every bit as good as any modern guitar thanks to their Wildwood-exclusive 10" radius and 6105 frets. We invite you to experience the new-age comfort and fifties mojo of the Wildwood 10 1955 Stratocaster. Once you do, we're sure you'll fall head over heels in love.
