Description:
The guitars from the Old School Series were born from a simple yet essential idea: to faithfully recreate the instruments exactly as they were in their original years of production. Not a modern reinterpretation, not just an inspiration, but a true window into the past.
Every detail – from materials to construction specs, from finishes to assembly techniques – was chosen to bring back the sound, the feel, and the experience of holding a vintage Fender. The Custom Shop, which usually leans toward more modern reinterpretations, here becomes a vessel of history, delivering instruments that feel like they’ve just come out of the old Fullerton workshops.
For those who value authenticity above all else, the Old School Series is not just a guitar: it’s a time machine.
Digging into the technical details, we've selected period-correct specs down to the smallest detail to truly capture the magic of the instruments from the Golden Era. In addition to carefully selected materials, the series features a Flash Coat Lacquer finish – a non-aged but ultra-thin lacquer that enhances the instrument's tonal properties – and rolled fingerboard edges for an incredibly comfortable neck grip.
Each guitar in the Old School Series comes with a custom-engraved "Old School" neck plate and a special additional certificate.
