This Fender Custom Shop 1966 Stratocaster Masterbuilt by Austin MacNutt is firmly in the latter category. Available now only at Haggerty's Music, this extraordinary instrument captures the unmistakable spirit of a well-loved mid-'60s Strat while elevating every detail through the vision of one of Fender's rising Master Builders. Complete with its original hardshell case and accompanying accessories, this is a guitar created for players and collectors who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship without compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 1966 Stratocaster represents a pivotal chapter in Fender history. By the mid-1960s, the Strat had already become one of the most influential electric guitars ever produced, finding its way into the hands of blues pioneers, surf innovators, psychedelic explorers, country virtuosos, and the emerging generation of classic rock guitar heroes. Its comfortable contours, three single-coil pickups, synchronized tremolo, and remarkably expressive voice made it a benchmark that countless builders continue to emulate today. The oversized headstock introduced during this era became one of the model's defining visual characteristics, giving late-'60s Strats their unmistakable personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eInside Fender's Corona, California Custom Shop, Masterbuilt instruments represent the highest level of Fender craftsmanship. Rather than moving through multiple departments, a single Master Builder oversees the construction of each instrument from start to finish, applying decades of experience and countless hours of handwork to every detail. Austin MacNutt has quickly earned recognition for producing instruments that blend vintage authenticity with refined modern playability, and his builds are celebrated for their meticulous fretwork, exceptional feel, and inspiring resonance. Every Masterbuilt guitar reflects not only Fender's legacy but also the individual artistry of the builder whose name appears on the certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThis particular Stratocaster distinguishes itself through an inspired combination of premium tonewoods, boutique electronics, and carefully selected hardware. Its lightweight two-piece ash body wears a beautifully executed Heavy Relic lacquer finish in Super Aged Olympic White, creating the appearance and feel of a guitar that has spent decades on stages around the world. The gorgeous 5A Birdseye maple neck is paired with an AAA rosewood fingerboard, offering both stunning aesthetics and effortless playability. A trio of Lollar Supercaster single-coil pickups delivers exceptional clarity, dynamic response, and harmonic complexity while retaining everything players love about classic Stratocaster tone. Finished with luxurious relic gold hardware and premium Custom Shop appointments throughout, this instrument stands apart from even most Masterbuilt offerings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eTonally, this Strat is equally comfortable delivering shimmering clean chords, expressive blues leads, vintage-inspired rock, country twang, funk rhythms, and articulate fusion lines. The Lollar Supercaster pickups provide sparkling highs without harshness, rich vocal midrange, tight lows, and remarkable touch sensitivity that responds beautifully to picking dynamics and volume adjustments. Whether paired with a pristine blackface-style amplifier or pushed through an overdriven British stack, this Masterbuilt Stratocaster offers an inspiring playing experience that rewards nuance and invites creativity every time it's picked up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:
