What's the real 'skinny' on the tweaks between the Artist Series and Custom Shop Artist series guitars. The finishes are different and, from the photos, the neck finish on the Custom Shop instrument appears 'whiter', which I prefer, but aside from being 'handbuilt' where's the extra $1000 +going to?

There's an earlier thread on this which I've read, but the response is not specific enough. There's talk of the number of pieces of wood making up the body, and something about the neck. What precisely are 'Eric's exact specifications' as the 'Sun Strat' "blurb" boasts.

Having owned a '93 Artist series Clapton guitar, and traded up to a CS of my own design which was supposed to begin as a modified Clapton, I found that the V-neck supplied did not seem as slender as on my '93 which was factory. I wonder if I shouldn't have held on to the Clapton as well.

I would consider anolther purchase if the juice was defintely worth the squeeze though I've always thought the Lace Sensors gave the guitar a meatier tone, but that's a topic for another day.

Looking forward to hearing from someone on this.

Thanks.
