There are certain guitars that don’t just shape music—they shape culture. Fender’s instruments have been in the hands of so many of the greats, from Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix to Bruce Springsteen and Jeff Beck. And since the very beginning, Carter Vintage Guitars has proudly played host to some of the finest examples of truly iconic vintage guitars to ever exist. Now, we’re thrilled to extend that legacy into the next chapter and share the news that Carter Vintage Guitars is officially a Fender Custom Shop dealer.   From day one, Carter Vintage Guitars has been a trusted destination for collectors and players worldwide, seeking original vintage Fender instruments. We’ve had some of the most important Stratocasters and Telecasters of the 1950s and ’60s pass through our showroom—many now immortalized in our photography archive; sold to world-class musicians and collectors across the globe. That lineage has defined who we are. And now, with the Fender Custom Shop, we’re honoring that legacy while embracing the future.   At its heart, this partnership is about service. It’s about giving our customers access to the very best guitars being built today, while also preserving the heritage and magic of the vintage market we’ve always been rooted in. So whether you’re a touring musician looking for a road-ready tone machine, a lifelong Fender fan searching for the perfect custom build, or a collector who wants the feel of a ’60s Strat without the fragility—our team is ready to guide you into the world of Fender Custom Shop.
