The Fender Custom or Maverick was a short lived model released by the CBS owned Fender Musical Instruments Corporation Fender in 1969. Essentially a six string Fender Electric XII , the Custom was an attempt to sell off unused factory stock instead of simply writing it off. The guitar was made with unused parts from Electric XII guitars, including the body, pickups and neck, and also unused Fender Mustang bridges. The six extra holes in the headstock for the tuning machines were filled and veneered over. The Custom was featured more prominently in sales material than its companion, the Fender Swinger Swinger , but sold poorly, and was never expected to compete with Fender s more popular models.

Custom fit is a broad term which could be defined as tailor made. To this respect, mass customization could be defined as a massive personalization or personalization for everybody. In the development of the term, a customized product would imply the modification of some of its characteristics according to the customers requirements such as with a Customcar . However, when fit is added to the term, customisation could give the idea of both the geometric characteristics of the body and the individual customer requirements Tuck et al., 2006 , i.e. the steering wheel of the Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso . Consequently, the Custom Fit concept can be understood as the of offering one of a kind products that, due to their intrinsic characteristics and use, can be totally adapted to geometric characteristics in order to meet the user requirements Anton et al., 2006 . With a global approach to this new concept, the European industry sector could become a highly technical one, moving from a resource based manufacturing system to a knowledge based manufacturing system and from mass production to individual production. This encourages the Lean manufacturing Lean Production trend as established by Toyota, or in other words, an efficiency based production.
