Guitar Builds
"Like your local friendly custom shop!" - Neil Sparrow, customer
Have you ever wanted to put together your perfect guitar? Building a Fender style guitar up from parts is a great way to get all the features you want, and may be more cost effective than you imagine.
You can be as creative as you like - just because Fender never built it doesn't mean you can't - see my gallery below for some examples of builds I have done.
The trick with "parts-casters" is that they do need to be built with a degree of skill and knowledge to turn out as the great sounding, highly playable guitar you have in your head, and that is where I come in.
I can work with you to source the parts you want, or use what you already have. New or used, OEM or aftermarket, the choices are endless - I have built nice guitars with no Fender components, right through to high end builds with all USA Fender components.
I will then build them into in a unique guitar, specified and perfectly set up for you. Each build is different, but my build service generally includes:
- Prepare the body with deep clean and machine polish
- Shield the cavities
- Prepare and install the bridge
- Wire up the electronics
- Install the pickups
- Fit your choice of pick guard
- Prepare the neck with a full fret dress
- Shape or replace the nut
- Assemble the guitar
- Full set up
Build prices start from £200 plus the cost of components

Build video of a Tele I put together. Nitro refinished Dakota Red American Special body, American Performer neck, Seymour Duncan Jazz humbucker in the neck. Sounds demo at the end. Gotta love an all-Fender partscaster!
