Description
What you’re looking at here is something truly special. It’s the first-ever Masterbuilt Meteora out of Fender’s world-renowned Custom Shop, so it’s a real piece of history! Finished in relic’d Inca Silver with a black anodized pickguard and painted headstock, it’s a showstopper whether you’re on stage or showcasing it in your collection.
It’s got loads of contemporary features to match up with its modern body shape too. A pair of powerful EVH Frankenstein humbuckers, a silky-smooth Fender Ultra tremolo, and a shredder-friendly compound radius Ebony fingerboard mean that explosive tones are ready to be explored with nothing holding you back.
About Levi Perry
Levi Perry’s journey to becoming a Fender Masterbuilder is as impressive as his creations. Born and raised in California, Levi joined Fender straight out of high school, starting in final assembly before moving to the Custom Shop in 2015 as a Relic Artist. His talent quickly earned him a spot on the service repair team, where he worked on numerous Masterbuilt guitars — his gateway to the elite ranks.
By 2018, Levi was apprenticing under John Cruz, learning the art of Masterbuilding while contributing to iconic projects like the Game of Thrones guitars. After years of honing his craft and absorbing knowledge from Fender’s finest, Levi achieved full Masterbuilder status in 2023. His passion for Fender’s heritage and relentless pursuit of perfection have made him one of the most exciting names in the Custom Shop today.
