I recently looked at a video on youtube that gives a tour of the fender factory in one of the titles that comes up during the showing of the factory says "Fender offers a design shop that allows you to customize your own guitar" is this what John Mayer used to create the Black1 and could I then make my own custom guitar.

Heres the link to the video if you stop it at 5:40 into the video you will see where it says that Fender offers a design shop under the picture of John Mayer.

ThePinkFloyd, in terms of a NEW Fender Custom Shop (FCS) guitar, it all starts with your interaction (email, phone call, in-store visit, etc.) with one of their Showcase dealers: http://www.fender.com/customshop/dealers/. You can't just go to the FCS and say can you build me this or that guitar, they only work with their Showcase dealers. If you spec out a guitar, I recommend that you price it with several Showcase dealers to see who can get you the best deal and/or service. Google is your friend, use it and do your homework on the Showcase dealers too as some may "settle to the top" more than others. I recommend too that you sit down and sketch out all the details that you may want PRIOR to getting prices so you can articulate as best you can what it is that you want.
