More of the Final ADE Strat. ☀️ #fender #americandesign #fenderade #fenderamericandesign #strat #stratocaster https://www.instagram.com/p/CLhKHzTB_Zq/?igshid=p0u7771wa4j2

Friday treat: the final American Design instrument, ordered a few minutes before retirement of that program — making way for the Fender Mod Shop that we know and love today. 🥳 I threw pretty much every unconventional option possible at the time on this thing. #excess #kitchensink #strat #stratocaster #fender #fenderguitars #americandesign #fenderade #americandesignexperience #modshop #fendermodshop #candyapplered https://www.instagram.com/p/CLes6Mkh6o2/?igshid=11wwe1s452x4v

#throwback to the not-terribly-distant past and the last instrument configured and built via the Fender.com American Design Experience (predecessor to the current and much-beloved Mod Shop also at Fender.com). June 9, 2016 - I went ahead and loaded it with pretty much every off-norm option available, hence the reverse headstock selection. 🤪 #throwbackthursday #fenderdotcom #americandesignexperience #fenderade #fendermodshop #modshop #fenderhistory #guitarsofinstagram #instaguitar #guitarsdaily #funmemories https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3LepwhaIF/?igshid=1s18phgjm144c

A colleague from our UK office is visiting us at HQ this week and ... long story short ... I just ate a gigantic plate of shrimp fajitas for dinner. 😅 While I lay here largely motionless in recovery from this meal, allow me to go ahead and post this beaut - same guitar whose neckplate got featured here most recently. This particular guit was a test order placed just prior to launch of the 2014 American Design Experience website effort (predecessor to the Mod Shop of today that we know and love). Super cool bit of Fender history here, and plays great too - as evidenced by the fact that the guit could clearly use a good polishing. 🤣 #fender #fenderguitars #americandesign #americandesignexperience #fenderade #strat #stratocaster #sunburst #sunburststrat #fajita #fajitas #shrimp #shrimpfajitas #guitarpolish (at Fender) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2NtZaMh8MI/?igshid=n8wu89aqa0q8

Last one before we move on: Fender.com American Design #1 from a few years back. Now, if you like what you see here it’s worth pointing out that you can get *pretty* darned close it via Mod Shop currently (see second pic) - even plussing in a gold anodized pickguard if you wish. Just pointing out your options here, people. 😎 #fender #fenderguitars #americandesign #fenderade #fendermodshop #telecaster #fendertele https://www.instagram.com/p/BqSewBjnLrQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=voabitjj7dph
