Overview

A stunning example of modern luthiery from Fender Masterbuilder Chris Fleming.

From the hands of Masterbuilder Chris Flaming comes this '63 Telecaster recreation. From the lightly aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish to the Loretta Diaz hand-wound Custom Shop pickups and genuine Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, it's a guitar the summons a pivotal era in 20th-century music.

Becoming a Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilder isn't a easy path. Beyond complete mastery of traditional and modern luthiery skills, a builder must have an instinct for perfection and an imagination to see and hear the guitar in the hands of great players. Even experienced luthiers coming to Fender must serve a years-long apprenticeship before they can finally be held worthy of the title "Masterbuilder."
