Fender Custom Shop Robben Ford Ultra FM Masterbuilt Greg Fessler - 3-Color Burst (Vintage)
Step into a rare moment in Fender history with this Robben Ford Ultra FM, masterbuilt by Greg Fessler in 1999. More than just a guitar, it is a collaboration between one of the most expressive players of our time and Fender’s Custom Shop at the height of its creativity.
This model was never meant to be a permanent fixture in Fender’s catalog. Produced only from the mid‑90s through the early 2000s, the Ultra FM was designed as a boutique‑level instrument that blended Fender’s craftsmanship with the soulful warmth of a chambered mahogany body and the elegance of a carved maple top. Its limited run was intentional, built to showcase what the Custom Shop could achieve when artistry and precision came together, and then retired to preserve its exclusivity.
The 3‑Color Burst finish paired with gold Schaller hardware makes this particular example especially striking. It is the kind of guitar that feels alive in your hands, resonant and responsive, and unmistakably refined. Collectors prize these not just for their rarity, but for the way they capture a moment in Fender’s history when experimentation and collaboration produced something truly unique.
The example we have a Round Hill Music is in stellar condition, from the original owner. It's seen very little play.
