Senior Master Builder Greg Fessler produced this spectacular 1 off NAMM special now added to Art of Guitars ‘Dream Factory’ range of Fender guitars 

Greg Fessler came to the Fender Custom Shop way back in 1990, working his way up through the ranks as an apprentice in all
sections and excelling at producing instruments of searingly intense and clarity of tone. Initially assisting with the Robben Ford signature line of guitars, Greg eventually became the sole builder of those instruments and, later became assigned as Ford’s personal builder. Fessler has also since built one-off Stratocaster and Telecaster models for a host of major players including Joe Bonnamasa, Jeff Healey, Hank Marvin, John Mayer, Rhonda Smith, Neil Schon and Pete Wentz, to name only a few.

Fessler’s remarkable abilities as a Master Builder have earned him accolades from many Fender artists and from discerning customers worldwide. His meticulous attention to detail is exemplified in every instrument he creates, each of which is a perfect example of the intense commitment it takes to earn the title of Master Builder.
