Hi,

I am considering a purchase of an EC Custom Shop Strat from 2004. This one has a AAA flamed maple neck. Was this standard for the EC CS Strats at the time ? Or is this a special or masterbuilt series ?

Thanks

Thanks !

I guess that Todd Krause made all the EC Masterbuilt, or did other masterbuilders make them too ?

Todd builds EC's personal stage guitars since a couple of years ago though CS guys like Dennis Galuszska, Art Esparza, Alan Hamel, Chris Fleming, John English, Mark Kendrick and Yuriy Shiskov also crafted his axes in the recent past.

Ok !

Actually, i am offered to buy a used Art Esparza EC Strat from 2004.

How do those compare in value with other masterbuilders ? And what should be its approximate value ?

I finally did see the back of the headstock, and it's a Art Esparza. Any idea of the value ?

From 2004 to late 2008 Teambuild and Masterbuild Claptons came with a normal tone pot. As of 2009 all Teambuild EC Customs came with the TBX stock.
