Hi there fellow guitheads!

Just wondering if anybody else plays the 2012 Stratocaster Pro from the Custom Shop?
I acquired one of these from Wildwood about a month ago. I´ve played it a lot and am really loving it. Those Red Hot pickups are some of the best modern type Strat pickups I have ever played. Very warm, thick and smooth Strat tone without losing that vintage touch. Really surpassed my expectations. In my experience most hotter vintage type pickups sound sterile and muddy although claiming to maintain clarity and tone.
That combined with other features like a modern tremolo makes this guitar a real player.
The CS guys really nailed it this time :D

Then some porn:

Nice, though I wonder why they went with the vintage tuners, as these used to have the '70s headstock and locking tuners?

Thanks! Yeah that would probably look sweet.
Still loving this thing. Sounds so big and masculine. Vintage sound on steroids is a good description I guess. Neck still needs a little breaking in as it still feels a little new and sticky.
