Black one with a nice super-thin paint w/nitro body finish, which looks nicer to me. The body picks up all kinds of marks and wear from even the slightest bit of use, which I like (natural relicing), unlike the standard super glossy poly versions which would survive a nuclear attack without a blemish.
This one looks more like the ones EC has (or had) for himself.
I'll get some shots sooooon.


Yes, please!

just found the thread so I can justify another CS (would be 5):

Have:
'52 Wildwood 10 Tele Relic - Nocaster Blonde - Twisted pups
'61 Wildwood 10 Black Strat Relic - Cruz pups
'58 Chocolate 3TSB Strat Relic - Maple board - Abby pups
'62 Wildwood 10 Jazzmaster - Faded Sonic

Looking at another WW10 - HSS Strat - not sure yet
(9 more guits - mix of HBs, p90's and acoustics)

regards
Andrew

I only have the one, but she's a beauty! A 2012 CS Deluxe in Cherry Sunburst. Fender really should do more guitars in this colour. It's not as orange in person and that neck? :shock:

Image

I've only had her for about a month (40th birthday present to myself), but it is definitely the nicest looking, feeling and sounding guitar I own. I was a little dubious about whether a CS was worth it, until I played one. :shock:
Now I think they're a bit of a bargain compared to some guitars!

This was taken about a month ago. Three of my Fender Custom Shops have sold and I am selling most of the remaining.

It was nice to have them all together for one final shot...

This guitar looks, sounds and feels gorgeous.

Inspired by Richie Sambora's cherryburst axe, I guess. :wink:

I really want hearing a couple of samples and seeing that bada$$ in action.

Thanks Alain, to me it pretty much is! I was going to get a custom build made, but thought why bother after I saw this! ;)

Thanks man. I was actually sick of cherry sunburst Samboras going for stupid money on ebay so was going to get one made (without stars obviously) and then saw this work of art. Wouldn't change a thing on it, it even has the cutaway heel. The photos really don't do it justice, especially the flame maple neck.

That's an insane collection! I scaled back on my guitars... I still have a few, but here is the outcome...

1960 Fender... is it a "relic" or the real thing? 8)

It's kinda sort of Blackie Tribute with the active stuff fitted in?
