2010 Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt ’59 Stratocaster NOS in Fiesta Red with gold hardware anyone? 

This is a stunning example of high-end craftsmanship from renowned Master Builder Yuriy Shishkov, executed with exceptional attention to detail and outfitted with gold hardware that pairs beautifully with the Fiesta Red finish.

Built with a lightweight alder body, the guitar has a vibrant Fiesta Red NOS (New Old Stock) finish giving it the look of a guitar that’s been carefully preserved since 1959 with the thin nitrocellulose and gold hardware ageing naturally over time. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck is shaped to a '59 “C” profile for a comfortable, vintage-correct feel that plays effortlessly up and down the neck.

Shishkov is known for pairing modern features with classic design and this guitar perfectly demonstrates this approach. The fingerboard has a 9.5" radius and is fitted with narrow jumbo frets blending classic aesthetics with modern playability. Traditional black dot markers, a single-ply white pickguard and spaghetti logo complete the vintage look while the locking Sperzel tuners ensure excellent stability. Gold plated hardware throughout adds a very nice visual twist.

Tonally this ’59 Strat is loaded with hand-wound Fender Custom Shop ’50s-style single-coil pickups, voiced to deliver the clear, bell-like tones and dynamic response that define the classic Strat sound. From sparkling cleans to gritty blues tones, the pickup set provides incredible clarity and warmth.

As a Masterbuilt instrument, every aspect of this guitar—from fretwork to finish—has been meticulously crafted to meet the highest standards. They are consistently great guitars and the used market is flourishing a the moment with plenty of choice, especially here at ATB! We say skip the huge waiting lists, save yourself a lot of money and buy used!

Comes complete with a Custom Shop tweed case, certificate of authenticity, and the accessories pictured.
