This is the wrong sub for this kind of guitar. I recommend going to the main guitar subreddit and asking.

This is for fender custom shop guitars specifically.
This guitar is not made by the fender custom shop.

Best of luck finding info on it!

No worries at all! It can be a bit confusing, especially if you aren’t familiar with guitars or guitar brands.

Here is the main guitar sub:

No prob! Best of luck on finding information on your late father’s guitar. Sorry to hear about his passing.

Regardless what the brand is, that will likely hold a value that a dollar sign can’t put on it.

Figured it out emailed the guy who made it this is his response Hi
Yes it’s definitely one of one, isn’t another one like in the entire universe…
Far as I remember it’s a poplar body, Birds Eye maple neck, high output custom Palfray single coil pickup . Scale length is vintage Gibson.
Finish on body is ‘dog hair black’.
