I wanted a great Strat. I've been searching for a Suhr, Tyler, Fender CS, etc. What I ended up doing is getting a Suhr for a very reasonble price.
1) Buy Suhr Pro series guitar on The Gear Page for $1100 - nobody wanted it because someone had moved the volume pot so there was an ugly hole there. No problem, I want to replace the pickguard anyhow because the Pro series has a H-S-S config and I wanted a traditional Strat S-S-S config.
2) Buy Fralin Blues Specials for $210 - I prefer these to the Suhrs.
3) Order new Suhr pickguard for $50.
4) Sell Suhr pickups - I should be able to get $125-150 for them - haven't done that yet.
The result is a killer Suhr Strat for what should end up being under $1300 when all is said and done.
Sounds killer. The Suhr fretwork is fantastic. The neck shape is great.
