Hi Guys

I have 2 Custom Shop Strats,both team built,and I love them both.

Question is,I have always wondered how a Masterbuit would stand up alongside one of them.
Would it sound different,or is it just better built with even better parts.

I have an NOS56 which I use for Shadows Instrumentals,so would a Masterbuilt NOS56 sound better/different?

Thanks

Alan

Hi Alan
There are some differences between the MB and TB but more on the global feel than on specific details.
Parts are definitely the same; maybe the choice of wood is the best for the MB.
I play Shadows music everyday.
Guess what:
I have been using my TB 56 Relic Fiesta Red for so many years to my full satisfaction.
PS I use 12-52 strings...
Stick to your guitar.

It is very much down to individual guitars, so play before you buy and you can't go wrong.

Many thanks for the repies.

Alan,nice to hear from you,and thank you for the comments.

I must say I am very happy with the sound of the NOS56,but there is always that nagging question of whether the Masterbuilt is better.

I use 11/49 strings.

I shall stick with what I have,and maybe buy an Amp instead.

Alan

Hi Alan

I have to D.I my recordings,so I use a PSP608 with Echotapper Shadows Patches.

My DAW is Logic Pro 9,and I use GTR3 as my Amp Sim.
