My Strat. Wildwood '10' Fender 57 Re-issue. Wildwood is a premier Fender dealer in Colorado who can get them to build small runs to their specs. This is a 57 all the way except instead of the period correct 7.5" fret radius it's a more modern 10". Upgrades I've made are putting in a 12 year old set of Suhr V60LP pickups (best strat pups ever IMO) and a Callaham bridge assembly with the Gilmour shorter length trem arm. The stock length gets in the way for me. And the bridge block has a nylon insert so the arm doesn't wiggle at all.

Super lightweight and resonant one piece ash body. She's a sweet ride!
