This guitar was sitting at a guitar shop by me and they let me plug it in and mess around and I was thinking about stealing it. It is easy to slide up and down and the tone is beautiful.

I own a Fiesta red model, it is quite possibly the best guitar I have ever owned, and I've been collecting and playing vintage guitars, before they were vintage! when buying a guitar you must look past how the guitar is set up, eventually you discover you like things set up for the way you like it to feel, even a custom shop can't read your mind and set a guitar up for any one individual. String height, neck tilt, pickup height, mean nothing in considering quality.

These Custom Shop strats are expensive, but they're worth every cent that you'll pay. Each one of us has his own idea of what the perfect Strat is, and this one is it for me. Lightweight, extremely fine attention to detail, and tone galore. The pickups are outstanding and are SO responsive to picking style. The neck is an almost perfect fit, once I got accustomed to it. This is a guitar that you won't want to put back in its case.

I don't see how they could have done it any better

This guitar is a great idea that has been beautifully executed. The neck is awesome and the pickups sound great. The aging of the finish is perfect.
