Hand crafted by Fender's most skilled and talented builders, the dedicated Custom Shop technicians - part craftsman, part artist, part music fan and, more often than not, part mad scientist - imbue each guitar with history and the spirit of "The Dream Factory". Nothing Beats a Fender Custom Shop guitar for Pristine Vintage Tone and Unparalleled Playability!
The Black Strat
One of the most iconic guitars ever made, this Custom Shop beauty evokes the classic look and timeless tone of the Stratocasters made famous by the likes of David Gilmour and others and features a 2-Piece Select Alder Body, Quartersawn Maple Neck, Round-Lam AAA Rosewood Neck, and 3 Hand-Wound Fat '60s Single-Coil Strat Pickups. The body sports a gorgeous sparkle to the classic black and is completed by a Nitrocellulose Journeyman Relic finish that suggests it came off the line decades ago, but the vintage-spec Closet Classic hardware package makes it look like it's hardly been played, a real Time Machine! Includes Vintage Style Tan Hard Shell Case with Red Plush Interior, Vintage Style Leather Strap, and Certificate of Authenticity.
Custom Shop Time Machine Series
The shrine to the heritage and legacy of those pioneers who made us what we are today. The Fender Custom Shop reached new heights of craftsmanship with its acclaimed Time Machine series artfully “relic-ed” guitars and basses that revolutionized the entire concept of “reissue” instruments. The Custom Shop has since ventured even higher by crafting meticulous replicas using the same techniques and tooling used to create the originals all those years ago.
Journeyman Relic
Used but not abused.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.
Closet Classic
Kept in a case most of its life—perhaps even forgotten.
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, and minor surface scratches on the body and headstock.
