Moore Guitars is proud to be one of the select dealers partnering with the Fender Custom Shop

Moore Guitars is proud to partner with Fender Instruments and be a part of the select dealers who carry guitars from The Fender Custom Shop.

In Fender’s own words: “Custom Shop builders are completely dedicated to their art—part craftsman, part artist, part music fan and, more often than not, part mad scientist… the creations that come from it are no ordinary instruments.”

Whether you're dreaming up a one-of-a-kind guitar from scratch or recreating the legendary instrument that first lit your musical spark, the Fender Custom Shop is where those dreams come to life. It's the workshop of some of the most skilled and passionate luthiers in the industry—builders who transform wood and wire into timeless instruments. More than just guitars, these are heirlooms—crafted with such care and detail that they’re meant to be played, cherished, and eventually passed down. While not everyone can afford the rare, six-figure vintage originals, the Custom Shop offers something just as special: beautifully made guitars with unmatched craftsmanship and soul. For players everywhere, they’re more than instruments—they’re inspiration in your hands, pushing you not just to play, but to play your best.

We at Moore Guitars are all players - we have the same passion about instruments as you - so much so, we decided to make this our vocation! Let us help you pick out the guitar you need, or help you design the guitar you have always wished for. The reality is this - there are people that can make those dreams come true - or maybe they already have, and it's right here!


Key reasons why your next instrument should come from Moore Guitars:

- Moore Guitars is a Top 300 Seller by Reverb and a Top 100 Music Retailer by NAMM! See why musicians trust us! Our top priority is providing you with the best purchasing experience on Reverb.

- Flexible financing options! We offer 0% financing through Affirm and other flexible payment plans. Contact us to find the best option for you!

- 72-Hour Risk-Free Trial! Certain models qualify for a no-risk, 72-hour trial period—ask us for details!

- Custom setup! Our experienced guitar techs set up and intonate every guitar and bass to the manufacturer's specifications before shipping. But what if you want something specific to your taste? No problem. If you want to provide measurements for neck relief and string height, we’ll nail it. Or you can give more general manufacturer's specs, like, “Neck is pretty flat. Low action. No buzz.” Our techs are professional guitarists. They understand you.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.


You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
