Steve Pitkin has worked with the Fender Custom Shop since 1995, photographing the most incredibly crafted guitars built in America. There is something special about the Custom Shop and the people who work there they love their work and they know their work is loved. These craftsmen are true mojo makers, building each guitar with artistic expression, skill, and innovation. They do this while holding true to Fender s time honoured traditions and working in close collaboration with musicians who rely on these instruments to create their art in a musical form. Each page of this book is made to be interactive, from the highly detailed photographs to the text on their edges. You will discover something new on every page as a window of discovery opens, encouraging your imagination to dream of a masterpiece when it is held in your hands.

STEVE PITKIN (Rockford, IL) began his photographic career documenting diverse collections of historic scientific instruments, fine art, and rare timepieces relating to the history of science. Pitkin s love of music is deeply rooted from childhood, playing guitar and searching for the perfect instrument from the age of twelve. Rick Nielsen, lead guitarist of Cheap Trick and 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, invited Pitkin to photograph his world famous guitar collection in 1992. The work gained broad recognition and, in 1995, Fender commissioned Pitkin to photograph its Fender Custom Shop, Guitar Gallery. The Fender Custom Shop calendar, exclusively illustrated with Pitkin images, has since enjoyed over two decades of worldwide acclaim.
