I recently purchased a new HSS American Standard Shawbucker Strat. Love the guitar. Sounds great, especially the Fat 50 pups. My question is this: It says " original custom shop body" on the headstock. What exactly does that mean compared to other American strats? Is there a difference? Or is it any better?

I think you may need glasses. It should say "ORIGINAL Contour Body".

+1

There's nothing "custom" about that body -- it's Fender's bread-and-model with S/S/H pickup routing that they've been building for nearly twenty years now.
