For more information go to fendercustomshop.com

David Gilmour and the Fender Custom Shop are extremely proud to bring you the David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster. Gilmour’s famous
“Black Strat” was a cornerstone of the Pink Floyd sound of the 1970s and early ’80s; featured extensively on The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You
Were Here, Animals, The Wall and acclaimed 2006 solo album On an Island. The Fender Custom Shop worked closely with Gilmour and his longtime
guitar technician, Phil Taylor, to create his signature model, a reproduction of the Black Strat complete with its unmistakable look, sound and feel.
Featuring an alder body with a black nitrocellulose lacquer finish and black pickguard, one-piece maple neck, custom pickups, and Gilmour’s own
distinctive electronics and shortened vintage tremolo arm, the David Gilmour Signature Series Stratocaster is as beautiful, powerful and individual as
Gilmour’s playing. Additionally, the guitar comes with a custom case, Evidence Audio™ high-end guitar cable, and Gilmour’s three-disc Live in Gdansk
CD/DVD package.

Rory Gallagher Stratocaster®
Fender Custom Shop designers met Donal Gallagher, brother of late great guitarist Rory Gallagher, in Los Angeles in 1997 and received
one of the most coveted guitars of all time - Gallagher’s heavily worn 1961 Stratocaster®. Fender initially built 40 replicas for European sale,
but was subsequently besieged with requests for more. The Rory Gallagher Tribute Stratocaster guitar is an exact replica of that revered
instrument, down to the extremely worn Three-color Sunburst alder body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. It even has five Sperzel®
tuners and one Gotoh® tuner, and the 12th-fret dot marker is white plastic rather than the original clay. It also features three custom-wound
’60s single-coil pickups, aged chrome hardware, 21 jumbo frets and a bone nut. Our homage to a true and truly missed master.

something right! And when your bass is as special as legendary session bassist Pino Palladino’s, it’s no wonder the Custom Shop chose to

Sean Hurley 1961 Precision Bass®
Bassist Sean Hurley has certainly made his mark in L.A., playing bass on tour and on record for John Mayer while maintaining an astonishing pace
as an in-demand studio bassist with artists including Ringo Starr, Annie Lennox, Robin Thicke, Alanis Morissette, Vertical Horizon and Colbie Caillat.
Hurley also anchored Mayer’s Born and Raised (2012) and Paradise Valley (2013) with his well-worn ’61 Fender Precision Bass.
The Fender Custom Shop has replicated Hurley’s favorite Precision Bass in three colors—Three-color Sunburst, Olympic White and Charcoal Frost.
And when we were spec’ing out Hurley’s original bass, we noticed a piece of foam he’d stuffed under the strings in front of the bridge to deaden them,
so we designed a special Fender string mute that can easily be engaged at any time during a song—a feature never before offered on a Fender bass.

Journeyman Relic® – The Occasional Hard Worker
Used but not abused. Handed down or changed hands through the years but played mostly just around the
house with the occasional jam session or weekend gig. Has been well taken care of over the years but has
finish checking, some “friendly” down to the wood nicks and dings, dullish hardware and moderate playing
wear. A very lucky find.

12/12/14 3:16 PM

The 2015 Postmodern Stratocaster is elegantly designed with a reappraisal of modern assumptions. A thoroughly contemporary take on a timehonored classic, it has a lightweight ash body with a comfortably contoured heel, a quartersawn maple neck with a finely sculpted ’60s “C” profile, a
fast compound-radius (9.5”-12”) “round-laminated” maple or rosewood fingerboard with 21 narrow jumbo frets, and three sparkling Fat ’60s single-coil
pickups (reverse wound/reverse polarity middle pickup) with modern five-way switching and a special “Tone-Saver” treble-bleed network that keeps
tone consistent at any volume (no loss of highs when decreasing volume).
Other premium features include a three-ply parchment pickguard, American Vintage synchronized tremolo bridge, staggered tuning machines (no
string tree), Schaller® strap locks and Fender “F” logo engraved neck plate. Available in Black, Olympic White, Dakota Red and Three-Color-Sunburst
NOS and new “Journeyman” Relic® lacquer finishes, the latter of which imparts the appearance of years of aging and light use without heavy wear and
tear. Includes black textured vinyl hard-shell case.

Dale Wilson arrived at Fender in 2003, joined
the Custom Shop in 2005 and became a Master
Builder in 2011. Building guitars has been a
driving passion for the California native since
childhood. “Ever since I can remember, I’ve
always loved guitars,” he said. “I didn’t dream
of being a rock star; I dreamed of building the
ultimate guitar. I was equally enthralled with the
guitars just as much as I was with the players.”
Woodworking runs in the Wilson family, and
the requisite Custom Shop zeal for outstanding
craftsmanship has long been part of Dale’s DNA.
He did repair work and mods in a small guitar
shop right out of high school in the late 1980s;

subsequently moving on to stints at Dobro and
Rickenbacker before arriving at Fender, where
he worked on Guild, Gretsch and Benedetto
guitars before beginning his apprenticeship
with various Custom Shop Master Builders.
He enjoys calling upon his extensive and varied
experience as a craftsman to create highly
distinctive guitars such as the Resophonic
Thinline Telecaster. Wilson also built five beautiful
custom guitars for the January 2011 NAMM
Show while still an apprentice and was asked to
signed the back of the headstocks, after which he
became a Fender Custom Shop Master Builder.

PaulWaller
Master Builder Paul Waller is a Southern
California native with woodworking and guitar
making in his blood. He built his first guitar at
age 14 in his high school woodshop, joined
a cabinet shop right out of high school and,
after a stint at a small Southern California
guitar maker, enrolled at the acclaimed
Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in Phoenix,
from which he graduated in spring 2000.
Waller joined Fender in 2003 fresh from his
training at Roberto-Venn. He spent two years
working closely with master arch-top craftsman
Bob Benedetto, and became steeped in the
many facets of building techniques from all

the Custom Shop’s Master Builders. After
an extensive seven-year apprenticeship,
Waller became a Master Builder in 2010.
His Fender Custom Shop work has included
bass guitars for U2’s Adam Clayton, a custom
Thinline Telecaster for U2 vocalist Bono,
Telecasters for Rolling Stones guitarist Keith
Richards and co-work on a Stratocaster
for fellow Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood,
Stratocasters for Buddy Guy, the Nile Rodgers
“Hitmaker” Stratocaster, and a custom
double-neck Jazzmaster for Queens Of the
Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen.

JasonSmith
Born in Rochester, N.Y., and raised in California,
Smith remembers meeting guitar greats from
about age five on through his father’s work
with Fender—Eric Clapton, Yngwie Malmsteen,
Jeff Beck and Robben Ford, to name only a
few. He went to his first big rock concert at
age six—Rush—and Smith remembers going
backstage with his dad and meeting Geddy
Lee after the show. Before he was even in

his teens, Smith was going to see Pink Floyd,
ZZ Top and many other major artists.
Rock music and Fender are part of his DNA. Smith
joined the Fender Custom Shop in 1995, and in

distinctive instruments, all of which
embody his personal design philosophy:
“Form and function are the biggest part
of it,” he said. “It’s about the way an

cool, and it has to compel you to play.”

His guitar-building apprenticeship began
in early 1981 at Jackson/Charvel guitars.
Krause arrived at Fender in 1991 and steadily
rose through several roles, including
one-off instrument builder, R&D model

DennisGaluszka
Like Fender itself, Dennis Galuszka is a
Southern California native. Combining his
dual passions for music and woodworking,
he began building high-end acoustic guitars
during his 13 years as a cabinetmaker.
As a working drummer, it was a 1999
audition with one of the Fender Master
Builders that led to a job interview
and a new kind of steady gig—as an
apprentice at the Fender Custom Shop.
After only eight months there, Galuszka
was promoted to Master Builder. He has
since built finely crafted instruments for

influential players including Paul McCartney,
Andy Summers, Johnny Marr, Patrick
Stump, Mike Dirnt, Sting and many others.
He has lent his expertise to a number of
truly distinctive instruments, including
double-neck guitars and unusual takes
on classic Fender designs, and several
artist model designs. “It’s all about
the feel and sound of an instrument,”
Galuszka said. “Those things are number
one with me, above everything else.”
