In one word … Superb! This Fender Custom Shop Dale Wilson Master Built 65 Stratocaster Relic in Candy Apple Red is an excellent example of luthiery at its finest.
The ’65 “C” shape neck is one of the nicest I’ve played and the Josie Hand Wound 69 Grey Bottom pickups lend a new, yet familiar tonal palette to the mix.
With a layer of gold subtly underlying the aged, red nitro finish, you get a sense this guitar was once a beautiful shoreline gold that was later dressed up in candy apple by a subsequent owner. And having seen its share of pubs, clubs and stages, the finish was worn away nicely and the neck feels as though it has only improved with all those years of heavy playing.
As for tone, the neck pickup offers up a woody, darker sound that still retains a vibrancy and snap that may favor Jazzers, but reacts well with overdrive for Roots Rockers. Position 4 is full and rich, allowing for very hot blues tones when pushed. The middle pickup is jangly and bright with mid tendencies that really help it cut through when driven. Position 2 is quacky with pronounced high mids that lean toward a late 60’s / early 70’s rock vibe on overdrive. The bridge pickup is bright and somewhat thin, lending itself to Country picking with a clear tone when driving the amp. I found the tone knobs interact very well in all positions and make a huge difference. You’d be hard pressed to tell this guitar from a real ’65 that has seen its share of action over the years. An excellent relic job by one of today’s masters of guitar building.
If you’re looking for something special, look no further.
