Not every guitar shop gets to say this: The Music Emporium is proud to one of a small group of Fender Custom Shop Showcase Dealers.
That title might sound like an internal industry thing, but to us, it’s a badge of honor. And more importantly, it means real value for you, the player.
So, what is a Showcase Dealer?
Being a Fender Custom Shop Showcase Dealer means that Fender themselves handpicked TME to be part of a small, elite group of dealers with a proven track record of excellence - deep product knowledge, a passionate customer base, and a reputation for delivering the kind of service that Custom Shop guitars deserve.
We’ve earned Fender’s trust to carry and represent the best of the best, from Custom Shop Team Built models to Masterbuilt guitars, limited editions, and one-off exclusives.
We work directly with the Fender Custom Shop team to spec guitars that you won’t find anywhere else, and we’re often among the first shops in the country to receive new, small-batch releases.
Why does that matter to you?
It means that when you shop Fender at TME, you’re seeing a wider range of the Fender ecosystem - not just the standard production line.
From entry-level American models, to Custom Shop relics, to boutique Masterbuilt pieces, to vintage Fenders with real history, we’ve got it all under one roof. And we’ve got the knowledge and hands-on experience to help you compare, contrast, and find the right fit for your playing style and goals.
No guessing. No hype. No commissioned sales pitch. Just honest guidance from fellow guitar nerds who know what these instruments are supposed to feel and sound like.
A Player-First Experience
As a Showcase Dealer, we go the extra mile to make sure the buying experience matches the quality of the instrument. Each Custom Shop guitar is photographed in-house and individually listed - what you see is what you get, described by real players who've actually played that instrument. We’re also available to chat about specs, tone, neck shapes, wood types, or anything else you’re curious about.
Whether you’re buying your first Custom Shop guitar or adding a Masterbuilt to a long-time collection, you’ll be treated with the same care and enthusiasm.
The Bottom Line
We’re proud to be a Fender Custom Shop Showcase Dealer because it’s more than a title. It means you have access to some of the finest instruments Fender builds, paired with the kind of experience and support you can only get from a shop that lives and breathes this stuff.
We hope you'll stop by the shop, drop us a line, or browse the current collection online. There’s always something inspiring coming through the door.
