Fender Custom Shop Todd Krause Masterbuilt Stratocaster

Preamble
The information I gathered for this post was obtained from the owner of this gorgeous strat himself, Matthew Chee of Singapore's "Halfway Crooks." The interview was conducted at 4:00 p.m. on December 4th, 2018 at the Bee @ Publika, Kuala Lumpur. According to Matthew, this instrument is a "one-off masterbuilt strat," crafted by none other than Fender Master Builder Todd Krause. Matthew wanted a guitar patterned after Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Number One," and believe me; he got exactly what he asked for.

Some Specs
Body: solid alder
Finish: "heavy relic" nitro sunburst
Neck: maple
Fretboard: Brazilian Rosewood, 21 medium-jumbo frets, 9.5" radius, rolled edges
Nut: bone
Hardware: "chemically aged"
Pickups: three Alnico 5 single-coils custom-wound by Abigail Ybarra
Tone Caps: Emerson

Notes
Matthew is not a fan of either jumbo or stainless steel frets. He prefers medium-jumbo nickel-silver frets, D'Addario NYXL1046 (nickel wound/regular light) strings, and believes that "tone is in the fingers." I noticed that a couple of dot inlays were missing from the fretboard. When asked about this, he replied that they'd probably "fallen off from playing," and he "couldn't be bothered to replace them."
