WOW! [img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img] I mean, like... WOW!

Holy s**t, man, that is absolutely killer! And it's obvious from the work order that you sweated the details! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Congrats!

(Side note: it is so not fair that a real strathead was possible just because you're overseas. [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] )

6048 arrived yesterday

Yesterday, my new baby arrived. She plays dreamlike and sounds great. The long wait was it worth.
Thanks to the custom shop crew for excellent craftsmanship and great support.

Here are some pics. I hope to be able to provide better pics soon.







The matching headstock finish is designed by myself.






Here is the work order form with the specs listed. It doesn't show that I Later upgraded the fretboard wood from rosewood to brazilian rosewood.

Nice Toby, really nice!!!....

Don't worry Shreddermon, being overseas ain't all it's cracked up to be..give my the same $ price on guitars and I'll be happy...for what I paid for some guitar you could go nuts at the Custom Shop and still have change.... [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: 6048 arrived yesterday

Re: 6048 arrived yesterday

Re: 6048 arrived yesterday

Very nice. I can't believe that Fender will not let them do it for the the US market. I think that they are FUCT.

Now allow me to excuse myself to wipe the drool off the keyboard.

Re: 6048 arrived yesterday

The headstock flames totally make that guitar.

Very sweet, dude.

[img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img] Congrats. That kicks major ass!!!! I also love the three on/off switches instead of the five-way. And the matching headstock definitely rules, too! [img]graemlins/drool2.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: 6048 arrived yesterday

Wow... that's sweet. I always liked the hot wheel flames, though I'd never get one like that, and would never play it live...

It sure looks sweet though. Good order!

Re: 6048 arrived yesterday

Thanks for the replies.

About the Strat head. Afaik, the Fender rights on the Strat head apply in the USA and maybe some other countries, but not all over the world. They don't apply in Europe. This means, even if a manfucturer is not licensed to sell Strat heads in the USA, he may legally sell them in Europe. Because of this I was lucky to get a Strat head. Since now Fender owns JCMI, it's up to Fender to decide if the custom shop can do any more Strat heads. What I heard is that Fender said that my Strat head is gonna be the last one. Let's see.
Now there are the 25th anniversary Charvels, and this is a great chance to pick up a Strat head.

Re: 6048 arrived yesterday

I USUALLY don't like strats. I USUALLY don't like flames...

But DAMN!!
