Hello All -
I have a Fender Deluxe Strat that I think is perfect. It's the latest model with a compound radius neck. The neck is straight as an arrow and the fretwork is great. I've replaced the pickups with Fralins. I've added the Callaham trem block. Basically, this guitar plays, sounds and looks perfect.
Still, though, I find myself GASing over the idea of a Custom Shop strat. I'm not interested in a Custom Shop for the nitro finish, styling, etc. I've just got it in my mind that a Custom Shop strat must be even better. But given the quality of my current guitar, it's hard for me to see how a Custom Shop could be any better.
For those of you who had a "perfect" strat and then bought a Custom Shop, did you find that the Custom Shop was even better? If so, in what sense? Or did you regret spending the extra money?
Thanks!
