LEVI PERRY Levi Perry started at Fender’s U.S. production final assembly department in 2012 fresh out of high school in Riverside, Calif., where he was born and raised. He moved to the Custom Shop three years later in 2015 as a Relic artisan and tune tester and soon moved to service repair. After another three years he was promoted to Masterbuilder Apprentice in 2018. While an apprentice Perry served as a “floater”, which meant that he worked with and learned from each Masterbuilder individually. He worked on many prestigious builds during this period, including the Game of Thrones series, the Limited Edition Phil Lynott Precision Bass, the Limited Edition George Harrison Rocky Strat, the Limited Edition El Mocambo Heavy Relic Stratocaster and Telecaster models, and many other collections and artist instruments. “For me what’s important is to always be learning and growing, and to remain a student of the craft,” Perry said. “Fender has such a deep and rich history to glean from, and when you allow that history to teach and guide you while continuing to be creative and push the boundaries, you’ll be amazed at what you can create.” Model: Fender Custom Shop Levi Perry Masterbuilt 1960 Strat Hardtail Brazilian Heavy RelicBuilder: Fender Custom Shop - Levi PerryYear: 2024Body Type: Solid BodyBody Wood: AlderFinish Type: Nitrocellulose LacquerFinish Color: Candy Apple RedAging: Heavy RelicNeck Wood: 5/4 Quartersawn MapleFingerboard: Brazilian Rosewood (USA ONLY)Neck Carve: 60 Style Oval "C"Scale Length: 25.5''Neck Dimensions: .790'' - .930''Neck Radius: 9.50''Frets: 21 - Vintage Upgrade 45085Nut Width: 1.650''Nut Material: BoneNeck Finish: Medium TintedNeck Pickup: Hand-Wound Custom Shop 60/63 Strat SinglecoilMiddle Pickup: Hand-Wound Custom Shop 60/63 Strat Singlecoil - RWRPBridge Pickup: Hand-Wound Custom Shop 60/63 Strat SinglecoilPickguard: 3-Ply White(Aged)Hardware: Nickel/ChromeBridge: Custom Shop Vintage Hardtail Strat BridgeTuners: Vintage-Style Tuning MachinesControls: 1 Volume, 2 Tone and 5-Way SwitchCase: Fender Custom Shop / G&G Brown Tolex Hardshell CaseWeight: 6.95 Pounds (6 lbs 15 oz)
