hi everyone
im in abig dillema
im ready to by a masterbuilt

i came up to choose between 2 very different guitars

1)yuriy shishkov 65 masterbuilt heavy relic vith texas special pickups N rosewood board
2)yuriy shishkov 54 masterbuilt 50 anniversary strat

very different beasts you ll say...but check this out as my wallet will only help me with one

1)yuriy shishkov 65 masterbuilt heavy relic vith texas special pickups:

very beautiful
great playlability (9.5 radius, 6105 frets)
my only problem is ...the guitar is in UK and i live in Greece. i cant try her to listen to the sound...i wouldnt have problem if for example the pickups were 50s or 60s cause these are all rounders...but the texas specials.....i beliexe they boost the mids, something that probably gives a texas blues direction to the guitar...and maybe aNOT classic strat tone...

2)yuriy shishkov 54 masterbuilt 50 anniversary strat

extremely beautiful
difficult for me to play the 7.25 radius and the thin vintage frets (those specs are ok when i try a gilmour strat...but with this u (boat)shape neck...omygod...
sound.... i adore it...a dealer here in greece have one and the sound is too good to be true



so...go with guitar 1 with a change of pickups if i dont like them in the future (and what pickups would you suggest for a heavy relic alder 65?)
or go with guitar 2 and maybe make a fret change in the future (will that affects the sound of a great instrument like this?

PLEASE HELLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP.

That is a difficult choice. I really love the 50th '54s (so much so I created a site for them), so since I have one, I'd probably got for the '65, though based on the specs, it wouldn't be my first choice for a masterbuilt guitar in that price range.
