I had the pleasure of speaking with past Fender Senior Master Builder Art Esparza again today. We went over some of the topics we have discussed over the last few years and filled in a few gaps. It brought back memories of the quality time I spent with Art in Southern California a year or two ago. Here's a photo I took of him playing a special Strat he built. Of course there's a lot more about Art and the guitars he created while at the Fender Custom Shop in the book! As with the other past Fender folks, there's also an update on what Art's doing now. :-)
