"Master-Built
In every art form, there are those who, through years of training and experience, have mastered their craft and developed that "magic touch". The magic of the Fender Custom Shop lies in the hands of its luthiers — the Master Builders. They are known the world over for their skill and have built instruments for the likes of Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Eric Clapton, Dick Dale, Mike Dirnt, Bob Dylan, Robben Ford, Buddy Guy, Merle Haggard, Reggie Hamilton, Mark Hoppus, John 5, Keith Richards, Sting and U2... just to name a few!"

"The Fender Custom Shop’s people are hand-selected, uniquely trained individuals with unparalleled excellence and experience in the company’s main production lines and some of the world’s most prestigious instrument shops. Each builder is trained and then trained again, and each one is constantly learning new techniques, be it hand selection of aged Brazilian rosewood or a different way to fret-dress a fingerboard. Every person in the Custom Shop is a valuable asset who imparts the “Fender family” feel to every single instrument we produce.
And it truly is a family—some members of which have been with Fender since the ’50s and ’60s. Herbie Gastelum, Abigail Ybarra and others are truly experts on how it was done in the beginning because they were there at the beginning, and their continuing presence and fantastic institutional memory serve as a window through which we can experience and preserve Fender’s rich history and heritage.
Since its inception in 1987, the Fender Custom Shop has been a testing ground, R&D facility, artist model producer, prototype shop and premier “dream factory.” Indeed, some of the guitars that appear in today’s regular production lines were once available only from the Custom Shop, a concept that can be traced to former Fender CEO William “Bill” Schultz that still echoes today.
The people of the Custom Shop come to work knowing that they will make a difference in Fender’s history—today. Whether they’ve been with Fender for the past 45 years or with the Custom Shop for the past five years, they have one common goal—to build history."
