      I agree...I notice my arm always tends to strum more toward the neck than my strat but the tele definitely sits better...great choice

      I especially love the way he cut a Tele headstock shape into the overall Strat shaped headstock. What a great touch.

    Happy Anniversary Fender Custom Shop!
    All my life I've dreamed of having and designing my own Fender Custom Shop guitar. I've sold most of my life's guitars to feed us and keep us from going homeless in hard and very difficult times. My very favorite Fender I had to sell last year for that very reason. It was a customized Jag-stang. I had modded it out beyond. It was close to my perfect guitar but had to go. I haven't been able to write any new music since. I'm still hopeful that someday my dreams will come true and I can have a Custom Shop Fender and that it will be perfection! I've always wanted a Jaguar or Jazzmaster or Jag-stang type guitar body with a 24.75" scale and a 12" radius neck. Metallic flake finish. Simple, but alot of tones and a dream to play and most of all create on. Please Fender Custom shop help me make my dreams come true. =D #FenderProSweepstakes

    I walked into my local music shop in 1991 to get a sampler...picked up a dakota red custom shop stratocaster with a matching headstock. Looked amazing. Played it for 5 minutes and had to buy it. It was a LOT of money at the time but I knew it was special. I've had LOADS of guitars since then. Still the best guitar I've played. #FenderProSweepstakes

    Love this guys. As a guitar maker for over 30 years I'm still inspired by everything Leo created - I just wish you'd included him in this bio as he set the ball rolling, his original business was the custom shop before it became a beast that nearly killed him.

In the beginning and most likely still to this day, you 8 plus have no comprehension, idea of how many people you have made dream. We sit quit in our rooms or play to a loud audience with our instruments but, all of us guitar players take a second and salute you for helping us keep YOUR dreams alive, THANK YOU.

    @ianshongtrs 6 лет назад

    The Strat was the last guitar I wanted. Boring, ubiquitous, common. Give me an SG, Tele, Les Paul, Gretsch whatever. Then I try out a used Squire Classic Vibe Strat and I had to admit why it has the history it has. Sold the Tele and the SG (kept the LP) and got two Fender Stratocasters. I wanted to be hip and a little different but I gotta go with my ears.
    Congrats Fender Custom Shop. Maybe one day one of them will be mine.

    Fender should get a hold of Smith logging in Winston OR. I used to set chokers for them. In the fire season we would pull wind feld old growth and sell it to a small luthier. I always wished I could have played one. But it was always a great feeling knowing how that log was going to change someone's world.

    the 'custom shop' is now a large scale production line....the glory days of the custom shop were well and truly over by 2004..im not saying that they don't still make amazing guitars, they do, but the standard production run guitars are churned out in huge numbers and it shows..compare an 90's custom shop guitar to 201*..they are different animals..Now the masterbuilt guitars are where the standard ones were all those years ago..then there's the Fullerton reissues pre CS..still some of the best guitars Fender has ever made..

    Watching a video of Roy Orbison playing a telecaster has me drifting off to that drummer's beat. I step to the mic. My hands glide down to start the riff. Oh Pretty Woman, so smooth in my hand. Just as the words start to come out of my mouth, reality calls and I am called to by the drool on my shirt and my wife wondering why I am not cleaning gutters. These hands aren"t for chores-they're for that Fender. I need that telecaster! #FenderProSweepstakes

    I have a Kubicki EX Factor Bass that was built in the Fender Custom Shop. What's funny, is that Kubicki Bass aficionados will suggest it's inferior to a non FCS example, but the build quality is all but indistinguishable aside from the FCS logo, and I love it just the same.
