Masterbuilt by Dale Wilson – Rare "Holo Flake" Finish
 
Presented here is a rare 2013 Fender Custom Shop Stratocaster Masterbuilt by renowned Fender Master Builder Dale Wilson. Combining world-class craftsmanship, documented provenance, and one of the most unique finishes ever to leave the Fender Custom Shop, this instrument represents a rare opportunity for collectors and players alike.
 
This guitar is in excellent condition and is accompanied by its original Fender Custom Shop Certificate of Authenticity and supporting documentation.
 
What immediately distinguishes this Stratocaster is its spectacular and highly unusual "Holo Flake" finish, a custom creation by Dale Wilson himself. Unlike traditional metallic or sparkle finishes, Holo Flake produces a remarkable visual effect that continuously shifts and transforms depending on lighting conditions and viewing angle. Under different sources of light, the guitar reveals an ever-changing spectrum of colors and reflections, creating a striking three-dimensional appearance that must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
 
The finish is exceptionally rare, with only a very limited number of known instruments produced in Holo Flake, including a Telecaster built using the same concept. This particular Stratocaster was personally featured on Dale Wilson's Instagram page in November 2013, providing additional provenance and confirming its place among his notable custom creations.
 
About Dale Wilson
Few modern Fender builders have earned the respect and admiration achieved by Dale Wilson. After years of experience in guitar repair, manufacturing, and custom instrument building, Wilson joined Fender in 2003 and moved to the Fender Custom Shop in 2005. His exceptional talent and dedication led to his promotion to Master Builder status in 2011, a distinction reserved for the most accomplished craftsmen within the Custom Shop.
Since then, Wilson has become one of the most sought-after Master Builders in the world. His instruments are known for combining flawless craftsmanship with artistic originality, often featuring unique finishes, custom appointments, and meticulous attention to detail. His work is highly regarded by professional musicians, serious collectors, and Fender enthusiasts who recognize the rarity and individuality of true Masterbuilt instruments.
 
This 2013 Holo Flake Stratocaster perfectly showcases Wilson's creative vision during the early years of his Master Builder career. Rather than simply recreating a vintage Fender design, he produced a one-of-a-kind instrument that demonstrates both technical mastery and artistic innovation.
