Waller joins Fender in 2003. Spending two years working closely with master arch-top craftsman Bob Benedetto, allows him to get the skills in the many facets of building techniques from all the Custom Shop’s Master Builders. After an extensive seven-year apprenticeship, Waller becomes an official Master Builder in 2010.
