Guitarist Summer 2025
Fender’s Custom Shop is the place where dreams come true for many guitarists, as it represents the pinnacle of guitar craft, playability and tone. Always conscious of honouring its past, but building instruments that are completely at home on the modern stage, we hear about the Custom Shop’s rich history and speak with Master Builders about the workmanship and innovation that enriches every instrument they build. We have pictures of some of their finest works, too… Elsewhere, we look at Epiphone’s take on Jeff Beck’s legendary Oxblood Les Paul, get a lesson in bluegrass guitar basics from Molly Tuttle and much, much more!
