First off, I want to make sure everybody understands something I have been sitting on for a couple years now...Maria Elena Holly is one of my best friends, and throughout the many months we BOTH have been working on this, she has been NOTHING but a Saint. I love Maria very much and her story is amazing, and for anybody to think or suggest otherwise is a crime. She has been patient with us (me) and has always offered us every courtesy in completing this project. From day one, she has been so open and caring about this project, and I am sorry that we could not let the cat out of the bag until now. She is a gift, and hopefully some of you will be able to see her story on the DVD that is included with this instrument. It is extraordinary to say the least. Enjoy.

Mike, did Buddy's Tribute Strat come with a modern 5-way wiring kit as an option?

Alright! That is simply stunning. I want it!

I suppose those who want one, will order today. Regardless of price. Just my guess.

Cheers

Mike, what kind of case does it come in? With only 50 worldwide, I would assume the case would be extra special.

Very nice! Are the pickup covers the same brittle material as on the original?

Looks awesome! would love to have one, heck would love just to be able to check one out, but doubt any will be at a local shop.I'm sure at 50 pieces they will be gone fast.
