The new releases are posted on the website. Check these out. The '64 Stratocaster looks sweet!

I would have bought the single-bucker Esquire immediately, if it had been available without fake aging and wear. It wasn't, so I didn't.

Yep very nice.
The 64 with closet classic has to be the pick.
I like the pro esp with a birdseye neck but just wonder if only two controls, though practical, just deviates a little bit too much for the traditionalist in me personally. :D

I like the 1956 Heavy Relic Stratocaster. It really looks nice!
Nice V shaped neck, reversed/wound middle pickup.
Would have bought it but I just got a 62' reissue heavy relic strat and I love it!

The Esquire is so cool. I wish the pole scews of the humbucker would be more in line with the strings. Looks a bit off in the photo.

Personally I opt for an active version of that guitar with all the good stuff: vintage noiseless pickups with a hot ceramic bridge pickup and Elite circuitry for more "beef" into the mix!

True, but this guitar is more Gilmourish than Claptonish.

Nice mixture of two artist signature guitars. :P

So why don't you just order one? It's what the custom shop is intended for "custom" orders.

Because of the 2-3 year long wait. I'm getting older, and won't buy something I might not even see before I'm dead.
