Created for the legendary musician, this experimental aluminum-body guitar embodies the innovation and individuality that defined both Dylan and Fender during one of the most creative eras in modern music history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Crafted in 1993 by master builder J. Black of the Fender Custom Shop, the guitar is one of only four of its kind, each with unique decoration. Its striking engraved aluminum body is engraved in a flowing Art Nouveau style, transforming the iconic Stratocaster silhouette into a sculptural work of art. Signed beneath the pickguard “J. Black for Bob Dylan,” the instrument is accompanied by its original Fender invoice directing delivery to the care of Bob Dylan. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Few artists have reshaped popular music as profoundly as Bob Dylan. His controversial embrace of the electric guitar at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival altered the course of folk and rock music forever, with the Fender Stratocaster becoming inseparable from that transformation. Likewise, Fender’s Custom Shop has long stood at the forefront of guitar innovation, producing highly limited experimental instruments that push the boundaries of design and craftsmanship. This guitar, one of only four examples created for the 1993 NAMM show, represents an exceptionally rare intersection of musical history, artistic experimentation and rock-and-roll mythology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Signed \"J.
