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.

Fender® Custom Shop LTD Limited Esquire® 2 Pickup in Black | The Music Gallery

Like something that stepped right out of the Sun Records recording studio in the 50’s, this Fender® Custom Shop LTD Limited Esquire® reeks of old school country and early rock. The pine body keeps things very light weight but adds an acoustic resonance that makes this guitar sound great either plugged in or unplugged. And the thinner “V” neck allows even those of you with smaller hands to wrap your thumb around for cool chording options.

The neck pickup (sans tone control) exudes a mellow, woody sound and the middle position is more vibrant while still carrying that woody undertone. The bridge pickup is snappy and clear but can get warmer and fuller with a twist of

And the relic job on this one makes it look and feel as though Luther himself might have used it to back Johnny Cash for years.

The pine body sits well and is nice and lightweight giving this guitar an excellent feel and tonality overall. The single Custom NoCaster® Vintage Tele® Single-Coil Pickup provides a surprisingly varied range of tones. In the neck position, the guitar gives
