Who here has a Fender Masterbuilt strat? If so, who's the builder and what are the specs?

I'll start off:

Builder: Alan Hamel

Guitar: Strat (one-off)

Customizations: Forest Green (?), matching color headstock, '69 Large Head Stock, '69 pickups, 22 frets, push-pull on last knob for all 7 pickup combos.

Trust me, there is a HUGE difference in tone between a masterbuilt and an off-the-shelf strat.

You'd best be prepared to elect alainlafrance the president of this club, and be in for a long night of reading if he ever decides to post the information you're asking for. :wink:
