I don't know how many times this has been posted, but I've been wondering if you can order your own Fender guitar with your own personal specifications. I'm asking because if I could, I would like to order a "recreation" 1981 Stratocaster with a "Maui Blue" finish, just like the International Colors.

Scroll down to the August 1st posting which is quite detailed on costing out a 'team build'. You can figure on a Masterbuilt order( 1 luthier) beginning at 5K and the sky is the limit.

i'm not sure what 'scroll down to the AUG 1st posting' means, since the earliest posting for this topic is AUG 6th ... but i might be (obviously!) missing something or clueless or both ...

if i could, i would like to get a "keith richards" style '72 TELE CUSTOM (neck humbucker, tele bridge pickup, separate tone/volume control for each pickup, 3-way selector switch, hard maple tele neck/stock/fretboard) with a THINLINE body ... it would likely need a different pick guard/faceplate than what comes on the "normal" '72 TELE CUSTOM, but whatever (i'm sure the custom guys can figure that out) ... BLACK (the only color that the '72 TELE CUSTOM comes in) would be fine with me, but it would need to have the body inside of the f-hole blacked out to keep it from looking weird ...

is this possible? what would it cost? ... i had also thought about buying a '72 TELE CUSTOM and then getting a thinline body from WARMOTH and doing it myself (routing a larger hole for the humbucker, modifiying the faceplate/pick guard) ...

Sorry: Aug 16th: Team Build Custom Shop Pricing. That's a start. Masterbuild you can figure around $5K and up. :wink: :P
