hey all,

finally ordering my first masterbuilt! I've been in contact with Greg Fessler since we met at the NAMM show, discussing specs and options via email.

Base Model - '56 Strat Relic

Added features:

'A' Flamed neck
3-ply guard
9.5-12 compound radius
22 frets
Floyd Rose
HSS Arrangement
Custom wound neck pickup (cross between a Fat 50 and a '69)
'69 middle pickup
EVH Frankenstein humbucker

and of course - my signature on the back!

haven't decided on a color yet!!!

possible candidates -
Dakota Red
Taos Turquoise
Candy Tangerine
Lake Placid Blue
maybe like a sparkle finish...

thoughts??

Congrats Chandler! I love your "custom" specs all the way to using a 3-ply - this guitar will rock. Personally don't like this rocker in Taos Turquoise- seems to passive of a color for this machine, your age and your bands music style. Maybe something sparkly/flashy or down and dirty relic like the Ultimate Relic's Music Zoo carries/carried-- tough decision - but like an edgy look.

Congrats again and with band!!

P.S. You and I are fond of Candy Tangerine, maybe this becomes your "signature color"?

Cheers!

Red Sparkle would rock this beast - I like it and Greg has a history with sparkle...I'm feeling it.

congrats Chandler!

I really like the specs, I'm sure it will bring you everything you need.
how did you come up with the idea about the Fat 50/'69 combination in a single pickup?

btw, any idea about what the wait time is for a Fessler guitar?

I'm asking because my upcoming order will be either for him or Jason Smith, mainly depending on who is the less busy.

thanks, man! not sure yet on wait time. I'm waiting to hear back from him on it. from what he told me at NAMM he isn't as bad time wise. Jason's a cool dude!

and ima feelin the sparkle, T9! think that's gonna bee the winner.

hey now! haha I've been using Floyds for a while now (this guitar is being designed as an instrument I can use both in Peligro and in my Blues/Jazz studies) and I divebomb alot in Peligro, hence the need.

Obviously, 'when you're ready' has arrived in the minds of your family. Of course, a little celebrity can go along way :wink:
