Fender Custom Shop | Custom Order Process Overview
From the initial concept to the final touches, a Master Builder will personally oversee every step of your instrument's build. This ensures that the instrument not only meets the highest standards of quality, but also embodies the unique qualities and characteristics that you're seeking.
A Team Built Custom Shop guitar lets you define your ideal instrument. Begin with a base model and choose from Fender's vast selection of options to customize it as little or as much as you want to meet your personal needs, aesthetic taste and playing style.
Models from the past that have survived to the present day looking brand new. An all-lacquer finish that looks as if it hasn’t aged at all - as if you went back in time and bought it.
No real playing wear, but more subtle indications of the ages, such as a finish that has lost its sheen, mild discoloration of plastic parts, metal hardware showing slight oxidation, “mild” finish checking and minor surface scratches on the body and headstock.
Handed down or changed hands through the years, but mostly played around the house, with the occasional jam session or weekend gig. Has been well taken care of over the years but has finish checking, some “friendly” down-to-the-wood nicks and dings, dullish hardware, and moderate playing wear—a very lucky find.
The Authentic worn-in wear of a guitar that has experienced many years of regular use in clubs and bars. Marks that tell a story, finish checking all over the body; scars dings and dents from bridge to headstock.
A relic treatment designed to evoke decades of the most punishing play and touring. From serious dings and wear, to intensely discolored hardware and finish, the true battle-hardened workhorse.
The heaviest of Fender's aging treatments, showcasing extreme wear and tear. Worn down to the wood in all the right places, broken in and comfortable like it was well-loved for decades.
At this stage of the process, you'll be getting into the finer points of you build. Topics to cover are:
