Hi All,
I Just purchased this Masterbuilt off Ebay. It didn't come with any paperwork and I was hoping members would share their thoughts. I originally had questions about the relicing. I thought all relicing was subcontracted out and done by Vince Cunetto in 1997. Did custom builders do there own relicing? I was also concerned because the checking was different from others I've seen until I saw a similar one posted here in this forum. The discription said this is a 1969 reissue, could it be a 1968? is there any difference? I emailed Josh Mcgee at customer relations looking for the spec sheet. He responded quickly but told me they didn't have the shop floor travelers pre 2003. I've included the Ebay link below. I know I was taking a big risk buying without the COA but it's a beautiful guitar. Thanks for taking the time looking and sharing your thoughts.

I'm not normally a fan of big-headstock Strats, but that one looks great! :D

Thanks! It's my first Fender and I was a little nervous buying it without the COA. It feels and sounds amazing. The player needs a little work though! lol I would love to learn more about the guitar but I'm not sure how I can find out all the specs. Thanks for looking.
