Hot or Not: Custom Shop Strat

[Kelly]

2010 Fender Custom Shop Custom Graphic Strat Masterbuilt by Todd Krause

$6999.00

I personally love it.

 

[jbj]

I like it but not 7k like it.

 

[Prages]

That paint job shouldn't be a $6k upcharge.

 

[jaxn slim]

Not really.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

i've never understood why people charge so much for lipstick pickups. they were underwound and cheaply put together by a manufacturer installing them on masonite instruments.

and then to charge $7k AND put it on a strat.

yeah, fuck you Fender.

 

[Tiltsta]

Meh. I would really like it if it was a 400 dollar MIM, let alone a 7K custom shop guitar.

 

[Chad]

i'll pass

 

[mosiddiqi]

Not for me. At all.

 

[Coralkong]

Not hot.

 

[Denverdave]

I wouldn't want it but he did a pretty good job on that.

The asking price is insane though.....

 

[jelloman]

not...

 

[Dew Knot Hump]

Nope.

I used to work with a guy who is one of the master builders in the Fender Custom shop now.

 

[Lerxst]

Burn it with real fire

 

[Mark Wein]

I like strats with lipstick tube pickups...it's a cool sound.

This guitar can go fuck itself, though.

 

[aliensporebomb]

Yeah, too much money for what it is. Sorry Fender, but you're taking a page from Gibson's playbook here.

 

[Modern Saint]

Not bad - but $7 grand????

 

[Kelly]

Okay, price aside, hot?

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Okay, price aside, hot?

 

[Lerxst]

Okay, price aside, hot?

Tribal flames? no
End pin graphic that looks like butt cheeks? no
Lipsticks? pass

Conclusion, not hot.

 

[Dew Knot Hump]

Okay, price aside, hot?

No.
