I'm seriously considering buying one of these Strats.
Does anyone on here actually own one and if so, can you tell me about it?
Am I selling myself short by buying one that's already been made for Sweetwater?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Is that guitar you're talking about?

That is one of the finishes offered.
Yes
But this is the one I have my eye on...

I actually have a hefty amount of store credit with Sweetwater after some major studio upgrades that I "have" to spend rather than cash in.
I've always heard great things about the CS Strats.
I've also heard the folks who say it's a plain waste of money, but they all just sound bitter.
I could have it at my door before my next gig :-)

The emerald green finish over the snappy-sounding ash body is fabulous. :P

Under the hood you'll find a pair of Custom Shop '69s paired with a sizzling hot Master Design bridge pickup.
The middle pickup is reverse-wound for hum cancellation when combined with the neck pickup.

While I appreciate the "endorsement", does anyone have any first-hand knowledge of these particular guitars?
Are they actually built by "Master Builders" or are they "Team Built"?
