I was just reading the specs and this one really got me:

"black over Three-color Sunburst finish"

Are there REALLY people out there who will pay THAT much money for a guitar, and play it so much that it wears through the black to show the sunburst finish? Or is there another reason for this 2-layer finish that I am missing?


the reason for why it is finished that way is becouse Davids Black Strat is finished that way in the real world!
Read "The Black Strat" by Phil Taylor

Ever see the movie Fargo. Fender is offering the "true coat" on this one!!!"
....Ok, I guess I'll pony up the 4k because the paint is pretty.

Maybe David had to have it repainted due to the fact he played with it in the dirt at Pompeii.

Another good question is how exactly do they make a "relic" or beat up model? Throw the guitar in a cage with hungry gorilla?

Didn't Dave say that he wanted the guitar to be affordable? Or am I thinking of something else?



As previously suggested, it is likely they were looking at Custom Shop price points with no limit on issuance as opposed to the fixed lot of the Tribute series guitars.
