The Fender Custom Shop represents the pinnacle of guitar craftsmanship. Founded in 1987 to revive the magic of Fender's early designs, the Custom Shop began with two legendary builders aiming to create dream guitars for musicians. Today, it stands as a beacon for bespoke instruments, producing vintage recreations, one-offs, and highly sought-after models like the Custom Shop '51 Nocaster Heavy Relic.
Custom Shop guitars are divided into two categories: Team Built and Masterbuilt. Team Built guitars are crafted more efficiently, with specialists working on separate aspects of each guitar. Masterbuilt guitars push quality boundaries, made by some of the industry’s finest luthiers. Each Masterbuilt instrument is unique – unless it’s an artist replica, in which case, it’s nearly indistinguishable from the original!
Regardless of team, each Custom Shop instrument is crafted using the same presses, moulds, tools, and techniques that were around in the original Fullerton factory back in the '50s, lending a degree of vintage authenticity that's hard to find anywhere else.
Players love Custom Shop guitars for their unmatched quality and distinctiveness. They’re perfect for collectors and players seeking an instrument that truly stands out, offering the ultimate Fender experience with a touch of personalised artistry. At Gear4music we provide a wide range of Custom Shop models, so you can find a Relic, NOS, or modern creation to suit your style and preferences.
A Fender Custom Shop guitar typically ranges from around £3,500 to £4,500, depending on the model and level of customisation. Team Built models are more affordable, while Masterbuilt guitars, crafted by top luthiers, often command higher prices. Special artist replicas and limited editions can vary.
The Fender Custom Shop crafts high-end, bespoke guitars, offering everything from vintage recreations to unique custom builds and limited edition models. They have Team Built guitars made by specialists at different stages and Masterbuilt guitars handcrafted by top luthiers for unmatched quality and detail.
Fender Custom Shop guitars are primarily handmade by skilled luthiers, ensuring high quality and attention to detail. Team Built models use some machinery alongside hand-finishing, while Masterbuilt guitars are crafted almost entirely by hand, offering a personalised, unique instrument for each build.
