Ollis Dealer Select as Masterbuilt

For years session and the Fender Custom Shop have been successful cooperation partners, repeatedly designing and bringing new, interesting instruments to market together. Our Fender and session teams work hand in hand to excite our customers with new guitar and bass creations. A particularly large part of this is, of course, our in-house Custom Shop guru and Fender fanatic Olli Lohmann, who among other things started the successful Fender Custom Shop Dealer Select series.
When Fender masterbuilders Andy Hicks and David Brown visited our store in Frankfurt, Olli showed them our popular Dealer Select HSS Strat, which Olli had designed according to his personal preferences. The two were enthusiastic about Olli's ideas and our guitar, and they immediately agreed to build not just one, but several different Masterbuilt models for us with specs personally selected by Olli.

Introducing: Your dream instrument from Fender

We know what it means to find the instrument of your dreams. And we also know that first impressions count. That's why every instrument with us is checked again and perfectly set up for you before shipping. This gem included.

All the information to help you decide

Like its predecessors from the Teambuilt Custom Shop, this new Dealer Select is again modelled on a 1959 Fender Stratocaster with HSS pickup configuration, Olli's absolute favourite model from the American cult manufacturer. The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster JRN RW HSS FLDRS OWT MBDB therefore adopts most of the specifications of the previous Dealer Select Strats – with some interesting changes.

The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster JRN RW HSS FLDRS OWT MBDB is a classic ST-style electric guitar with a two-piece alder body. Alder has been used on the original Stratocasters since the late 1950s and provides the basis for the perfect vintage tone. The body wood was hand-selected to ensure an especially light weight and thus improve playing comfort. The aged maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 22 jumbo nickel-silver frets is sculpted in an ultra-comfortable '60s-style oval C profile and features a compound fretboard radius of 9.5" - 12", which offers the perfect compromise between vintage feel and modern comfort and makes fretting easier for your left hand. The guitar is fitted with a modern H-S-S pickup combination: a Seymour Duncan EVH '78 humbucker in zebra at the bridge, a Fender Custom Shop Handwound Fat 50s single coil and a Fender Custom Shop Handwound '59 single coil at the neck position with reverse-wound and reverse-polarity. The humbucker also has an auto-split function.
Further appointments include Fender Vintage Style tuners, control knobs in Aged White, a tortoiseshell pickguard and a Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge. With the Floyd Rose tremolo and matching nut, constant retuning is a thing of the past. It enables you to perform extreme vibrato effects without the guitar going out of tune.

This model is finished in classic Olympic White. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the wood to resonate particularly well and makes the finish age more attractively. It's about the look and feel of a guitar that has been loved and played. If you play your instrument often, it's a simple truth that your guitar will eventually show signs of wear. Even players who treat their guitars very carefully can suffer the consequences of a fall from a stand, other people's hands or even a mysteriously appearing ding. Each of these marks gives the guitar character. And that's what you get with the Journeyman Relic level from Fender Custom Shop. A well-cared-for instrument that has been played, gigged and loved. All our Dealer Select Masterbuilts with Journeyman Relic were built by David Brown.

The Fender Custom Shop 1959 Stratocaster JRN RW HSS FLDRS OWT MBDB is delivered with a certificate of authenticity in a luxurious original Fender Custom Shop case, with which you can safely transport and protect your new dream guitar from external influences. A Fender Custom Shop strap is also included in the scope of delivery.

The Masterbuilder: David Brown

David Brown's musical adventure began in the late 1970s when he attended middle school. While in high school he played in bands and worked in a local shop in Anaheim where he learned guitar repair and construction. In the mid-1980s he worked at Yamaha Music Corp. in Buena Park as a guitar technician. In 2000 David had the opportunity to work for Fender, which is where his career with the company began. By 2006 he had earned a degree in Marketing from California State University, Fullerton, and he now works in the Fender Custom Shop, building new models and crafting instruments for various artists.
