Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if I could order a guitar from fender with maybe a couple modifications. Like a new American Standard HSS strat in a electron blue finish and maybe a tortoise shell pickguard. Is that possible? and how much would I have to pay for it?

Everything is possible with the CS.
The only way to know how much it will cost you is to see your nearest Fender Custom Shop Dealer, tell him what you want then he will contact the CS and revert to you with a pro-forma invoice.
The problem is that any one off mods have to be done by a Masterbuilder so the cost might be prohibitive.
Maybe some local luthier could do that for you ?

Alright I'll have too look into it. I was just wondering because i heard that the masterbuilt ones usually start at around $5000 which might be a problem. But i'll definitely see what i can do locally. thank's again

im pretty sure you can get a tembuilt with more than a few one off features, i have a teambuilt with many one off features. im sorry to disagree with a pro like alain but are you sure? i believe there is a certain point that it becomes masterbuilt. a while ago someone ordered a deluxe strat with a different color and matching headstock and it was teambuilt. i wish more custom shop fans would visit this forum but you can hunt around other boutique and fender forums for the info ur looking for.

It's simply my last experience .
In 2005, not sure about the year but that's not the point, Fender CS released a limited Edition of the Bass VI Teambuilt in sunburst .

I enquired with my CS Dealer about having the same in another colour -surf green- and we were told it would turn it into a Masterbuilt with a $ 1 500 topping up on the price.

Needless to say I declined.

Still I got a Masterbuilt Bass VI in OW through another way and much cheaper :wink:
