Also a Q&A section will be added.
In the meantime I'll be pleased to reply to any question regarding the Fender Custom Shop guitars.

Franck,
It takes some time to make the photos, for one guitar, being VERY careful not to let it down, then to select the best ones, then to go through Photoshop(r), then to put them on the site , then to internet-proof them..
We are two at the present time ...
Hopefully I'm retired and my wife is so comprehensive (I love her)
But you'll see there guitars you've, most probably, never seen before and the idea was to share with as many people as possible the fantastic works of all those luthiers from the most reputable Companies in the world
Mostly from the USA . Ain't you proud of that ?
I envy you.

Alain
PS Yes, I know we own all of them :oops: :wink:

Bookmarked! I look forward to seeing the entire collection.

Just curious Alain... do you also collect any Gibson guitars? Either way, what are your thoughts about collecting guitars such as the Jimmy Page #1 etc...


No, not me, it's another collector
For the JP, the very early ones, definitely I was told

There are some amazing guitars in there, wow! Thanks so much for putting together this site. Your Aloha strat is incredible. I love the tuners on the Emerald Green Strat. Do you have any more info on the Koi Strat? That's such an incredible guitar, and I don't really know anything about it. Also, I know that the Tavares Aloha Strats were all covered in aluminum, what's the story behind yours?

There are 3 Koicasters, the first one owned by Guitar Center, is somewhat different; simpler.
The other one is quite close to that one apart that there was a gold inlay around a flower but the Artist passed in between.
RIP

This Aloha was the prototype of the series but it appeared that to color- anodizing was very, very expensive; also even Peter Kellett was not in a position to produce similar guitars because of the aleas of the process.
So they went to a more reasonable process.
Did you have a look at the Pink Flamingo Strat ?
Same Artists.
Stunning...
