Fender Masterbuilt Strats - Todd Krause ‘58 & Jason Smith ‘61
What's Hot
Not much I can really say, except they are both absolute Strat perfection. Totally capturing the vibe and tone of each era of Stratocaster. Impeccable build and tone. If I was keeping one, not really sure how I would decide between them…
Pursuing some more vintage guitars, as well as being on a bit of a Tele mission at present. Might consider a trade or happy to add cash for a special Tele.
Both in perfect condition, with all certs, case candy etc. present and correct. In the ‘61, I swapped the hand wound Josephina Fat 60’s for Rocketfire Total 60’s, not because the the Josephina’s were bad in any way (they weren’t, they were actually very good), but because I have had the RF’s in numerous guitars and they are the pinnacle of 60’s Strat tone for me. You can swap them back if you want, but just factor in the time you will need to swap back to the RF’s again afterwards.

(Josephina’s are included of course)
The 2 best neck profiles to be found on Strats for me personally. The 10/56 soft V fills the palm perfectly, and the ‘65 C has a nice meaty feel if you like something slightly fatter than the more regular C carve. Both really lovely.
PM me with any questions.

Stunning masterbuilts - good luck with the sale.
Note: I wasn’t aware of the rule re. price if you are withdrawing something from sale, so my apologies for rousing the forum busybodies from their stupor. Happy for the mods to reinstate the price, I can’t even remember what it was.
