FOREWORD

A Fender Custom Shop instrument is extraordinary. You know it when you play one—it’s
definitely more than the sum of its parts. It’s filled with intangible, electrifying elements that
add a new dimension to your playing experience. It’s as if the instrument itself is imbued
with history, alive with the spirit of the place where it was built and the devotion of those
who crafted it.

The Custom Shop is home to Fender’s most skilled and talented builders. It’s a bustling,
noisy and creatively volcanic place that re-earns its nickname—the Dream Factory—every
day. Custom Shop builders are completely dedicated to their art—part craftsman, part
artist, part music fan and, more often than not, part mad scientist. They’re the best at what
they do, and they pour all of their passion, hard-earned knowledge and skill into every
instrument they build. It’s no ordinary place, and the creations that come from it are no
ordinary instruments. Welcome to the Fender Custom Shop.

For players who wish to create a completely custom instrument—anything from a
humbucking pickup-equipped banjo to a custom-engraved aluminum-bodied Strat®—we
offer Masterbuilt, a singular experience working one-on-one with one of our Master
Builders. Custom-Built is for those prefer to start with one of our time-honored models and

that led to a job interview and a new kind of steady gig—as an apprentice at the Fender Custom Shop.
After only eight months there, Galuszka was promoted to Master Builder. He has since built finely
crafted instruments for influential players including Paul McCartney, Andy Summers, Johnny Marr,
Patrick Stump, Mike Dirnt, Sting and many others. He has lent his expertise to a number of truly
distinctive instruments, including double-neck guitars and unusual takes on classic Fender designs

FRET WIRE

Custom Shop frets are made from only the highest quality nickel, and can be made in a
variety of different heights and thicknesses. Larger frets tend to account for easier string
bending. Smaller frets are “true to vintage” in many cases, and facilitate easier chording.
Medium jumbo frets are designed to be the perfect marriage between small vintage frets
and modern jumbo frets. Keep the following examples in mind when choosing the frets
that you want on your guitar.

PICKUP OPTION

Hand-Wound: True to Fender history prior to 1965, hand-wound or “scatter-
wound” pickups are distinctly unique in character. Each pickup has its own subtle
nuances and personalized character which is what made the original Fender
pickups so sought after and prized.
Machine Wound: Each pickup is consistent and even in winds making each one
sound and respond relatively the same. Though most of the Custom Shop pickups
are hand-wound, some players prefer the consistency of machine-wound pickups,
so we are happy to offer both options.
