Up for sale is a truly special, custom-ordered Master-Built instrument crafted by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Dennis Galuzka.

The Backstory I had the last-chance opportunity to have this custom instrument built back in 2012 right before I got married. Since then, life took over, and it has spent most of the last decade as a stunning art display piece in my home rather than getting the stage time it deserves. It is in Excellent condition with minimal play wear over its 14-year life.

It's far too good of an instrument to sit in a case, so I am offering it up to someone who will play and appreciate it regularly. I am in no rush to sell, but I will consider reasonable offers.
