Hi everyone, new member here. I'm confused why there is a Guitar Builder tool on this site but you can't actually order your creation. So what is the purpose?

The purpose of Guitar Builder is to entertain and enthrall you for hours as you build your dream guitar in cyberspace.

It gives us the opportunity to try out various themes and colors..I have found it quite useful in my last two builds..

As far as not having the capability of designing on guitar builder than submitting to Fender.
How many people frequent this Forum... :?:
It would overwhelm the Fender Custom Shop, there is no way of assuring that the vermillion color you may like is anything like the Green that someone in Fender thought you meant..
( Vermillion is a shade of red, even though the name infers green ).
Also your computer desktop monitor may color differently..Back in the advertising days Pantone came up with a numerical scale of color ranges so that two or three or more parties spoke the same language.

I suggest designing on Guitar Builder than contacting One of the Shops that can order thru the Custom Shop...They will run thru your design and help you dial it in so when the time comes it's a direct order to Fender Custom Shop, not a lot of backtracking.

Good Luck....Post Pics when done...

It's fun to play with for about 10 minutes and then I'm wishing that it was more useful. It's also very limited.

Some ideas:
Add other body shapes and parts options (i.e. styles and colors of pick guards).

Fyi,
It's not a Custom Shop tool.
