Here's three of mine. A 1999 Mike Eldred era '51 Nocaster, 1996 John Page era '60 Telecaster Custom, and my 2004 Mark Kendrick built '54 50th Anniversary Strat. They are leaning on a '57 Twin Reissue and a Victoria Victorilux in custom British Green tolex.

I've got two more CS Strats and that's it. Nice, modest working-man's collection :D

I see that you have an Andy Summers Tele. How is it? What are you likes and dislikes?
I can't afford one so I built something very much like it. The neck is a vintage Tele maple neck and 3-color-sunburst bound body, brass bridge, a coil tapped jazz HB in the neck, a Broadcaster bridge pickup, and added a five way switch, with five different pickup configurations.
I used an After burner 20db volume boost knob instead of the pre-amp. I also used a mid-range scoop knob.

A big Clapton fan then ? Really lovely guitars there. Can you tell me how does the CS model compare with the Masterbuilts, other than the neck is there any difference in feel and quality or is just a psychological thing, the knowing :D I ask this as Clapton MB owner myself.

Cheers

No not that big a Clapton fan, but I am a fan of the Clapton Strat. I like the shape of the neck and the versatility of the Mid Boost.
The differences between the Teambuilt and Masterbuilt that I noticed are as follows:-

The neckshapes, although all slightly different the Teambuilt has the softest V of the three while the Midnight Blue Masterbuilt has the most pronounced, very similar to the original Artist series.

The body construction, the Teambuilt is a three piece body which when held at certain angles to the light shows the joints. I can't see any joints on the Masterbuilts.

The weight, the Teambuilt is slightly heavier

Sound, all very similar,however the Masterbuilts resonate longer and sound louder and clearer unplugged.

Les,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my post. I must say that I am warming to my EC Masterbuilt after initially thinking I had made a mistake parting with my cash. The neck is fantastic and you're right the thing resonates really well accoustically and the sustain...... just awesome.

Thanks again :D

Andy
