CARLOS LOPEZ
DENNIS GALUSZKA
Like Fender itself, Dennis Galuszka is a Southern California native. Combining his dual passions
for music and woodworking, he began building high-end acoustic guitars during his 13 years as a
cabinetmaker. As a working drummer, it was a 1999 audition with one of the Fender Master Builders
that led to a job interview and a new kind of steady gig—as an apprentice at the Fender Custom Shop.
After only eight months there, Galuszka was promoted to Master Builder. He has since built finely
crafted instruments for influential players including Paul McCartney, Andy Summers, Johnny Marr,
Patrick Stump, Mike Dirnt, Sting and many others. He has lent his expertise to a number of truly
distinctive instruments, including double-neck guitars and unusual takes on classic Fender designs
along with several artist models. “It’s all about the feel and sound of an instrument,” Galuszka said.
KYLE MCMILLIN “Those things are number one with me, above everything else.”
11 Lopez became an Apprentice Master Builder under Todd Krause in 2017, assisting with 12
guitars for Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Robbie Robertson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robin
Trower and others. He has also helped craft an array of distinctive Fender creations,
including a stunning ’69 Tele Relic in Green Tinted Ice Blue Metallic and, alongside Custom
Shop Master Builder Scott Buehl, a transparent acrylic Stratocaster played by Grammy-
winning artist Gabriella “H.E.R.” Wilson at the 2019 Grammy awards ceremony.
A 2-year assistant role with Stephen Stern at the Gretsch Custom Shop
was followed by a 5-year apprenticeship with John Cruz. During which he
worked on many prestigious guitars, including the replica of Gary Moore’s
’61 Stratocaster, a 30-piece run of the Jimmie and Stevie Ray Vaughan 30th
anniversary Stratocasters, and most recently the Phil Lynott Precision Bass.
