Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Based on the infamous, transitional Nocaster design, this guitar is plucked right out of Fender history and dropped right into your lap. Loud and responsive with the tell-tale '50s "U" neck, this Journeyman piece from the Custom Shop feels lovingly broken in and sounds fantastic!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress and setup
From Fender
Your dreams are what make the Fender Custom Shop the reality that it is today. From its inception in 1987, the Custom Shop has grown from two builders to today’s more than 50 artisans—a veteran band of builders, each a specialist dedicated to their own area of expertise—working together to build your ideal Fender to your exact specifications. From neck shaping and fretwork to finishing and aging—every step of creation—each Custom Shop craftsperson brings years of hard-earned skill and dedication to bear on your custom-built guitar with one goal in mind—to create an instrument and playing experience that can only come from the Fender Custom Shop.
