'51 Nocaster, NOS
In 1951, Leo Fender revolutionized the music industry with the release of the first-ever mass-produced solidbody electric guitar. Originally intended to be named the Broadcaster, legal issues with Gretsch led Fender to remove the word from the instrument's headstock decal. As a result, the guitar became known as the "Nocaster" among musicians and the name stuck.
2025 Time Machine Series
The Time Machine series is a shrine to Fender's history and the legacy of those pioneers who gave us the legendary instruments we love. The Fender Custom Shop elevated the entire concept of “reissue” instruments by crafting meticulous replicas using the same techniques and tooling used to create the originals all those years ago.

FENDER CUSTOM SHOP
A Fender Custom Shop instrument is extraordinary. You know it when you play one—it’s definitely more than the sum of its parts. It’s filled with intangible, electrifying elements that add a new dimension to your playing experience. It’s as if the instrument itself is imbued with history, alive with the spirit of the place where it was built and the devotion of those who crafted it.
The Custom Shop is home to Fender’s most skilled and talented builders. It’s a bustling, noisy and creatively volcanic place that re-earns its nickname—the Dream Factory—every day. Custom Shop builders are completely dedicated to their art—part craftsman, part artist, part music fan and, more often than not, part mad scientist. They’re the best at what they do, and they pour all of their passion, hard-earned knowledge and skill into every instrument they build. It’s no ordinary place, and the creations that come from it are no ordinary instruments. This is Fender Custom Shop.
