Since 1987, the Fender Custom Shop has been a "dream factory," producing guitars that are to playing what Ferraris are to driving. The skilled craftsmen in Fender's Corona, Calif., Custom Shop are known worldwide for their artistry in making guitars that range from the fine to the fantastic. Whether it's building a new custom instrument from the ground up or modifying an existing one, their best is the best. Fender's finest is the world's finest.

Fender Custom Shop instruments have been crafted for and with the input of the world's finest players—names like Clapton, Beck, Burton, Cray, Gilmour, Townshend and Vaughan, to name just a few. One could be yours.

"You can have your guitar built at the same factory where Eric Clapton's guitar is built, by the same people," said Mike Eldred, Custom Shop Director of Sales and Marketing. "Nobody else does what we do."

  Fenderr Custom Shop's people are hand-selected, uniquely trained individuals with unparalleled excellence and experience in the company's main production lines and some of the world's most prestigious instrument shops. Each builder is trained and then trained again, and each one is constantly learning new techniques, be it hand selection of aged Brazilian rosewood or a different way to fret-dress a fingerboard. Every person in the Custom Shop is a valuable asset who imparts the "Fender family" feel to every single instrument we produce.

When I was a dumber young man on a dare I drank a bottle of mustard schnapps to impress a young lady. Boy did it have a kick! Paid for the next day praying to the porcelain god.

When my wife was planning our wedding she had me do the invitations. Because I am such a joker I put on the invitation "attire optional" just to see if anyone would read it the whole invitation. Note for future reference, everyone reads all of the invitation. The phone rang off the hook for days. My then future wife started searching the web looking for ways to kill a man without getting caught. However, this guitar is an invitation to rock!

This Clapton seems a little more punchy in the mids and highs. Really sings in the upper registers and is perfect for rock and blues soloing. The bass is
