Don’t go there! It’s closed due to Corona-disease (sic!)!! I spent a whole day in Corona West because of dis-information!! You could do better Fender!!! ☠️

Update: Within 24 hours of reaching out to Fender Consumer Relations, I received an email from the Consumer Relations Manager. He quickly got to the bottom of why my guitar was taking so long, sorted out some order confusion, and moved my guitar to the top of the Fender Custom Shop queue. He offered an additional guitar or amp of my choice for my troubles. I was immediately sent an Acoustasonic Jazzmaster, and within two weeks my custom Jazzmaster electric arrived on my doorstep with a personal note from master builder, Ron Thorn. And dang- is this guitar a thing of beauty! Thank you Fender corporate, consumer relations, and Ron for making my dream of having a custom Jazzmaster happen- and thank you for renewing my faith in a brand that I've loved since childhood. ------------------ MY FENDER CUSTOM SHOP NIGHTMARE: WAITING FOR THE TRUTH AND MY GUITAR In June of 2020 I put an order in to The Fender Custom Shop for a Jazzmaster. It was a dream my whole life. But you don't want to hear about my dream. So let me tell you about my nightmare. I was told by Fender that the guitar would take 6-9 months and I put in a nonrefundable deposit. The deadline was extended to 12 months. But I was patient. In June 2021 I was told that the finish was tricky and they wanted to give it more time to set. In August 2021 I was told that the neck was made of rotten wood and that it would be a couple more months. In October 2021 I was told that the bridge was out of stock due to supply chain issues. In February 2022 I saw Jazzmasters from the shop's Instagram with the bridge I ordered, so I asked what the deal was. They said those were "special" builds but the bridge would be in soon and I'd have my guitar in April 2022. Today, April 8 2022, I spoke with my dealer. The deadline has been extended to June-July 2022 with no other reason given other than those previous reasons were not true. My dealer believes that the guitar has not been started due to the "cryptic" nature of his conversation with his Fender sales representative. If Fender had been honest with me- told me that they didn't have enough staff to take on all the orders that were placed. That there was no expected deadline. I would have understood. But these lies show that Fender cares nothing about their customers. It just took advantage of the fact that many were stranded at home with nothing to do during a pandemic so they took on more orders than they could deliver with nonrefundable deposits. And now we're all (still) waiting. Waiting for the truth and waiting for our guitars.

It's been an American Fender 2021 at The Solar House Studio. Absolutely amazing gear.

No ... try Reverb

Is the mini Mustang blue tooth guitar amp considered a receiver or a transmitter? If it is considered a transmitter, can it talk to the British Blackstar blue tooth mini amp which (I believe) is a receiver. And if not, why not? Thank you.

This is just a production factory. Youre better off contacting customer service

Jessy Brown | Apr 6, 2022
Adamal Ramirez | Apr 6, 2022

Cause of the pandemic I don't believe so just factory workers right now but they are hiring and the small employee store has been closed also since the pandemic started..

Is the store open yet.....went last week and it was a ghost town ....

Frank Ramsey | Feb 5, 2022
Adamal Ramirez | Feb 5, 2022

The factory is open but as far as the store I don't think so if it is not open to just employees

Can I order a Fender Champion 100 in Red tolex?

Eric Anderson | Sep 3, 2020
Jay Duman | Sep 3, 2020

This is the factory. No sales here.

I have a Fender California Series with a maple neck. I noticed a year or so ago that the finish is showing bubbles, in other words that the finish is detaching. What should I do? Replace the neck? Having it treated by a luthier? I live in Brussels

Stavros K. | Sep 3, 2020
João Nabais | Sep 3, 2020

I would say to check if is covered by the warranty first. Contact fender through the website: https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/contact-us If not go to a luthier, probably is only the finishing and nothing major with neck structure.

Do you still offer tours of the facility only 1 day per week? I'm coming in from Nashville in early February and would love to take a factory tour while in S. California.

mick nantell | Sep 3, 2020
Edith Brookshire | Sep 3, 2020

You can call and ask if they can give a tour on a different day, I pretty sure they will do it

I have a Fender Bassman '59 Reissue LTD, and I am trying to find out what year it was made. On the top panel, by the fuse, stamped into the metal it says AA16353. Can you tell me what year it was made please?

Do they sell guitars there at the factory?

Jeffrey | Sep 4, 2019
Sammy Torres | Sep 4, 2019

No. Strictly manufacturing and distribution.

Do you supply your dealers with samples of the various neck profiles and frets that can differ on your guitars? That way it would enable the customer to choose a guitar according to the preferred neck having seen and touched it?

treflyn Jones | Sep 4, 2019
Garrett W. | Sep 4, 2019

You can have one of the master builders custom make anything they sell in the factory. From what I know you cannot just simply check out a neck and inspect it.

Can i go dare?

Dallas okelly | Sep 4, 2019
Derek Hosie | Sep 4, 2019

I visited Fender Corona for factory tour 2 weeks ago, but couldn't enjoy them since the program was closed until February 2019. The guide there said that every Thursday is the best for factory tour.

Do you ever offer sale prices on what would be consider "seconds" like slight flaws in the finishes or small cracks, etc.?

Ian Kovski | Sep 4, 2019
Deanna Krehbiel | Sep 4, 2019

I don't think they sell seconds

I need to have my action lowered, do you do that and if so do l need an appointment or do l just show up.

Ken Grier | Sep 4, 2019
Johnny Isaacs | Sep 4, 2019

They don't service customers instruments at the factory. You'll need to bring it to a music shop, like your local mom and pop store or a Guitar Center.

Hi! I was wondering if there is any chance to visit the factory. I will be travelling to the USA for 4 month and I want to visit the factory if possible.

Pilar Lo Cascio | Sep 4, 2019
Lui Alvarado | Sep 4, 2019

Yes, their tour days are Thursday's. I think it's $5 per person. Come say hi when you visit! - Louie
