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.”

Fender Custom Shop Levi Perry Masterbuilt “Fuzz Brain” Telecaster #4

A radical fusion of history and innovation, Fuzz Brain #4 is one of Masterbuilder Levi Perry’s most personal and boundary-pushing creations. Inspired by a lesser-known moment in Fender’s 1967 legacy — when dense ash bodies were routed under the pickguard to reduce weight, a practice known as the “smuggler” route — Perry saw a new opportunity: “That would be perfect to stuff some effect into,” he said. So he did.

This handbuilt Custom Shop Telecaster features onboard fuzz, octave, and delay circuits, all internally integrated and topped off with a momentary oscillation button for wild, expressive control. Each effect is wired directly into the guitar and activated via a custom control setup, making this a fully self-contained tone machine.

Beneath the madness lies master-grade construction:
This isn’t just a guitar — it’s a statement. A rare blend of Custom Shop craftsmanship and boundary-pushing creativity, Fuzz Brain #4 is one of Levi Perry’s favorite builds — and one of the hardest for him to let go.
