NAMM 2017 | Master Builder Stephen Stern On His Prestige Collection Classic Rocker | Fender

Coinciding with the Fender Custom Shop’s 30th anniversary, the annual Prestige Collection of guitars on display at the 2017 Winter NAMM show represents the peerless craftsmanship, artistry and detail that elevated the Custom Shop to worldwide acclaim.

Inspired by a guitar Master Builder Stephen Stern and Dan Smith designed for NAMM in 1999–later dubbed the Classic Rocker in Custom Shop–this 2017 guitar is one of 12 ever created. Stephen’s modern iteration is slightly modified with a 17" electric hollow body, Trans Red finish and curly maple body and neck. Stephen is most-proud of the fingerboard inlays, inspired by a photo of an old lap steel guitar with diamond-shaped inlays he and Alan Hamel saw while flipping through vintage guitar books.
