Stratocaster: Custom Shop

Prior to the formation of the Custom Shop, the Research and Development section used to construct custom guitars requested by artists. In 1987, Fender brought in Michael Stevens and John Page to start what was envisioned as a boutique lutherie shop - building an estimated 5 or 6 guitars a month. When work orders for the first opening month almost totaled 600, the operation was expanded, and more master builders were added to the Custom Shop. Michael Stevens later left the Custom Shop in the Fall of 1990.
The Custom Shop quickly began a liaison between artists requesting specific building ideas and Fender´s production models. Page eventually became manager of both the Custom Shop and the R & D area, and some model ideas/designs that started on custom pieces eventually worked their way into regular production pieces.
In addition to the custom guitars and Limited Edition runs, the Custom Shop also produces a number of models in smaller production runs. The following models have a Stratocaster offset double cutaway body, bolt-on neck, 6-on-a-side headstock, three single coil pickups, and volume/2 tone controls (unless otherwise specified).
