Moore Guitars is proud to be one of the select dealers in partnering with the Fender Custom Shop 

In Fender’s own words: “Custom Shop builders are completely dedicated to their art—part craftsman, part artist, part music fan and, more often than not, part mad scientist… the creations that come from it are no ordinary instruments.”

Whether you're designing your dream guitar from the ground up or recreating the iconic instrument that first made you want to play, the Custom Shop is where that vision becomes reality.  The Fender Custom Shop is home to some of the finest builders and visionaries in the industry. Their passion and craftsmanship turn instruments into something greater—guitars that are more than just collectibles. These are legacy pieces, made to be passed down, cherished, and most importantly… played.  

We at Moore Guitars are all players - we have the same passion about instruments as you - so much so, we decided to make this our vocation!  Let us help you pick out the guitar you need, or help you design the guitar you have always wished for.  The reality is this - there are people that can make those dreams come true - or maybe they already have, and it's right here! 

Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1959 Stratocaster Time Capsule Package 

The Quick Story of the Fender Custom Shop - Whether you're dreaming up a one-of-a-kind guitar from scratch or recreating the legendary instrument that first lit your musical spark, the Fender Custom Shop is where those dreams come to life. It's the workshop of some of the most skilled and passionate luthiers in the industry—builders who transform wood and wire into timeless instruments.  More than just guitars, these are heirlooms—crafted with such care and detail that they’re meant to be played, cherished, and eventually passed down. While not everyone can afford the rare, six-figure vintage originals, the Custom Shop offers something just as special: beautifully made guitars with unmatched craftsmanship and soul. For players everywhere, they’re more than instruments—they’re inspiration in your hands, pushing you not just to play, but to play your best.
 
A few notes from the Moore Guitars staff:
 
This Custom Shop Vintage '59 honors timeless tones of the past, this breathtaking Fiesta Red Strat totally eclipses what it must have been like to see this guitar hanging in your favorite music store back in 1959.  Imagine how cool that would be!  This writer would love a trip in the "way back machine" to visit his favorite music store (as well as car showrooms, but that's another story for another time!) to see the amazing handcrafted beauty of instruments possibly touched by Leo himself!
 
Combining Fender's original "No Buff" NOS Flash Coat Lacquer finish with Closet Classic hardware, the Time Capsule package grants these instruments the charming appearance, authentic sound and genuine mojo of an extremely lucky vintage find!  Starting with a '56 Stratocaster body design in Alder, the hand-wound '59 single coil pickups wired through a 5-way switch sing out while mounted on a 3 ply mint green/black/mint green pickguard carefully fitted into a gorgeous Fiesta Red body with American Vintage hardware.  The neck features a AAA Rosewood fingerboard on a 21 fret maple neck carved into a 1960's profile. This guitar just oozes vintage vibe!  As for this writer personally?  It doesn't get any better then this!

- Custom setup: Our experienced guitar techs set up and intonate every guitar and bass to the manufacturer's specifications before shipping. But what if you want something specific to your taste? No problem. If you want to provide measurements for neck relief and string height, we’ll nail it. Or you can give more general manufacturer's specs, like, “Neck is pretty flat. Low action. No buzz.” Our techs are professional guitarists. They understand you.

- In business since 1976: Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum!
