View Full DescriptionMaster Built by Yuriy Shishkov
This Stratocaster was crafted by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Yuriy Shishkov, one of Fender’s most respected builders known for combining exceptional woodworking skill with artistic design and meticulous attention to detail. Master Built instruments represent the highest tier of Fender Custom Shop production, offering players and collectors boutique-level craftsmanship, carefully selected materials and one-off individuality. Every aspect of this guitar reflects a highly refined hands-on approach, from the relic finish work and neck shaping to the electronics assembly and final setup, resulting in an instrument with exceptional feel, tone and visual character.
Classic '60s styling with relic finish
The Candy Apple Red nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the guitar unmistakable vintage Fender style, while the relic treatment recreates the subtle wear and aged appearance of a carefully preserved early-'60s Stratocaster. Light lacquer checking, gently worn hardware and naturally aged cosmetic details create a comfortable broken-in feel without excessive distressing. Gold hardware throughout adds a luxurious custom-shop appearance that contrasts beautifully against the deep red finish. Combined with the AAA slab rosewood fretboard and parchment pickguard, the instrument captures the timeless elegance of Fender’s golden era.
Josefina hand-wound vintage Strat tone
Loaded with Josefina Campos hand-wound Fat '60s Strat pickups, this guitar delivers articulate vintage-inspired single-coil tones with impressive clarity, sparkle and responsiveness. Clean sounds remain glassy and dynamic, while overdriven tones maintain focused attack and expressive harmonic detail. The reverse-wound middle pickup provides hum-cancelling operation in combined positions, allowing access to the classic in-between Strat sounds used across blues, funk, rock and beyond. Modern wiring and high-quality electronics preserve the instrument’s vintage character while ensuring reliable performance.
Refined playability and premium hardware
The maple neck features a comfortable '60 Style Oval C profile paired with a 9.5" fretboard radius and narrow tall frets for smooth bends and effortless lead work while maintaining traditional Fender feel. The AAA slab rosewood fretboard adds warmth and visual refinement, while the American Vintage tremolo bridge delivers expressive vibrato response and stable tuning performance. Vintage-style Fender tuners and premium gold relic hardware complete the guitar’s authentic appearance and dependable functionality. Supplied with a Fender Custom Shop brown case, this Yuriy Shishkov Master Built Strat is built for stage and studio use, as well as being an incredible collector's piece.
