Just picked up the book last night from the bookstore and have gotten through a few chapters. Great so far. Got me to thinking that if you could have any of the builders over the years build you a guitar, who would it be?

Well it depends on the guitar:
- Extra heavy relicing ?
- A Tribute ?
- A Work of Art ?
- A Delicate Work of inlays ?

We all know what the Senior Masters can do but I'm still very impressed by the output of the new generation.
And it depends also on how long are you ready to wait.... :roll:

i was just thinking more hypothetically as i have one in college and one starting next year which prevents me from serious consideration of a CS but the book and all of the photos inspired the question. i guess they all have their own specialties. you would be the one to know with your collection :D

I ordered mine from Amazon.com, so it was posted directly to me from the US.

I forget exactly when I ordered, but it must have been about the same time as Alain, as we have consecutive posts stating that we'd ordered it!

At least mine arrived today.
No time to peruse it up to now but after you read Billy Gibbons Foreword and have a survey of the rest of the book, you just do one thing: you rush to the nearest Fender Custom Shop Premium Dealer to place an order !!!
(I mean if you are $ ready :wink: )

I resisted all temptation to order from the US and pay the huge postage, and my patience was rewarded as I bought a copy online for £37 here in the UK....it arrived today..... :D :D
