J.W. Black always thought his time at Fender was completed, until he got the call to design a guitar for Fender Custom Shop's 30th anniversary in 2017. Outside of his work with artists for Fender Custom Shop, J.W. built guitars for a large number of doctor/lawyer clientele. "They were a weekend warrior guitar player collector group, and when you talked to them, you knew they were making a special gift for themselves," he said.
