OK...Major GAS problem here

[Chasbo]

And no, not the butt kind. Has anyone here played one of these Fender Trower signature Strats? It's a Custom Shop model. I have an American Deluxe now, but this one just really makes me feel the way I felt looking at my 1st Playboy Centerfold.





It's a gooooood feeling. I played one in white and liked the sounds and feel of the guitar, but disliked the color, then I saw a picture of this and fell in Guitar Lust. What are your opinions?

Cool guitar, he always played a 71/2 radius though. Does this one have the 70's radius also?

7.25" radius and medium jumbo frets. It feels fine to me, I came home and played my 2004 American with a 12" radius and its noticably different, but not in a bad way. I used to own a 70's era strat in the 80's and this is just like it without the heavier weight (those original 70's strats were LP heavy) and without the crappy pickups. The middle pup is revers wound and reverse polarity. You can get some neat sounds from it. It's a no brainer that it nails that BOS tone instantly, but it does a credible job at all the strat sounds I am used to playing. From Gilmore to Hendrix.
