His meticulous attention to detail is exemplified in every instrument he creates, each of which is a perfect example of the intense commitment it takes to earn the title of Master Builder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis particular guitar is a result of that partnership.  Greg Fessler built the guitar as a modern styled Strat, and Madison Roy painted it with a very unique style, naming it the \"Nightshade\" Strat.  She took a different approach with this one, compared to many of the other guitars she's painted.  Instead of the wild, vibrant colors typically used, this one has more of a minimalistic (in terms of color), almost modern motif.  The shades of black, white and gray look amazing, and very sleek, especially with the black anodized pickguard that Fessler chose. Be sure to check out all of the photos and to zoom in to see the incredible detail applied to this paint job.  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe guitar itself is amazing too - this is a piece of art that is absolutely meant to be played.  It features a lightweight ash body with a thin poly finish to protect the paint job, quartersawn maple neck that has a very comfortable Modern C shape, and a dark Indian rosewood fretboard.  It has a modern 9.5\" radius and 6105 (Narrow Tall) frets make it easy to play and bend notes without fretting out.  The Handwound Master Design pickups give you a classic Strat tone, with an even response across strings just the right amount of output to cut through the mix without sounding shrill.  It's a very balanced set, and sounds amazing.  The full list of specs is below.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe are fortunate enough to have sold some of the coolest Fender Custom Shop guitars out there - and sometimes we are twice as lucky, when one of these guitars comes back from the original owner and we get to sell it again.  And, sometimes thrice!  This is one of those occasions.  The original owner was a long-time client.  We got it back a few years ago and sold it to another long-time customer and friends of ours.  Now it's here again as part of an estate collection.  Neither of them really played this guitar - it was bought as to collect and display, so it's still in excellent condition. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe the original hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity and other paperwork is all included.\u003cbr class=\"gmail-Apple-interchange-newline\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Nightshade Stratocaster was originally a featured piece at the 2015 NAMM show, has been well preserved for a decade and now available again.  This is a highly collectible guitar, and one of very few Madison Roy painted guitars that are on the market.  Come to Truetone Music to see it in person, or order here to add it to your collection now.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial # R80772 \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart # 9211001459\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish Package: NOS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor:  Custom \"Nightshade\" Design by Madison Roy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Black Anodized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: 2 Piece Ash; Sort for Lightweight Thin Poly Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Quartersawn Maple; Rolled Fingerboard Edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Indian Rosewood; Sort for Dark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTint: Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Modern \"C\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss Rod: Bi-Flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDots: Micarta White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretwire: 6105 Narrow Tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 9.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 1st Fret:  .820\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Thickness at 12th Fret:  .870\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Nut Width: 1.650\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Butt Width: 2.200\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBone Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Pickup:  Custom Shop Master Design John Cruz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiddle Pickup: Custom Shop Hand-Wound  John Cruz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge Pickup:  Custom Shop Hand-Wound John Cruz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring: Modern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Chrome\/Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Schaller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Custom Classic Strat with Ultra Snapin Arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck plate: Vintage Style (just serial number)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Custom Shop Deluxe Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41157792039093,"sku":"80FCS011","price":7999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/products\/1-DSCF7649_80885435-bb07-4e03-9e2c-61c581ea382b.jpg?v=1684235160","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.com\/products\/pre-owned-fender-custom-shop-masterbuilt-greg-fessler-madison-roy-nightshade-stratocaster-with-ohsc","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
