Thanks again for all the kind comments guys, it's really nice to get the thumbs up from some of you guys with a lot more experience in CS guitars!

Normally I don't like Strats to look "different" (ie non traditional sunburst) but I like that one. Ash body? What kind of pups?

That case looks GREEN! I read what you said about it but kinda cool lookin'. I've got a green tolexed Victoria amp. Green-favorite color and a great guitarist (sadly, at one time. Big fan- See my avatar...)


Yes it does have an Ash body. The pickups are two CS 69's (neck and middle) and a Texas Special in the bridge.

I really like the colour too and I, like you, generally tend to favour the more traditional finishes.

The first time I ever saw a Strat in Cherry Sunburst was on a guitar played by Richie Sambora back in around 1995. From then on, it became my absolute favourite colour on a Strat and I always hoped to get one one day. I never imagined I would be lucky enough to get one made by the Custom Shop though!

Thanks for the interest

Russ :)

Mike,

You are the only civilian I've ever heard say the term, "WHOA!"

Did you spend any time in the Army?
