Maybe he just decided to expand his budget, and is trying out a bunch of guitars. if he would have done that to start, he wouldn't have ended up with a roadworn, in the first place.

Going from a 60s road worn to a Custom Shop Guitar is one heck of a jump. I wish I could find a music store that would let me take home 3K dollar guitars to try out. Sweet
A Good friend owns the music store we have a mutual friend named mastercard

Hey guys you fender pros I know a road worn 1st then jumping to a custom shop sounds ridiculous the fact is I own 4mexicans each heavily modifyed and still not happy this became costly not to mention exhausting
by now could have had a custom shop so finally IM thinking spend 2700 bucks fall in love get rid of the mexicans and have 1 great guitar. Fender has done nothing but confuse the hek out of me ITHOUGHT THE ROAD WORN WAS their solution to say hey look the mim are just as good as our american product they are just as good as any standard mexican I think I HOPE after testing this custom shop I can really finally get the perfect guitar after getting a custom shop u gotta feel your getting the best

I for one don't think that you will be disappointed in a Custom Shop guitar. :) Congratulations on your impending purchase! :wink: 8)

Just make sure you get the one you want because the CS makes many good models!

Niki, I saw the OP on another thread talking about getting a MIJ strat. I am beginning to think something is amiss! :?


Senior Hopkins as we know too well before you own a CS guitar you are visited with weeks of dilema. The cat asked about the instruments and i gave him my most honest appraisal of them as players guitars. Would you ever be without yours? Given a choice of which to keep all i can think is 'take any but that'. In 10 years that guitar is going to rock my world like no other. Theres no investment guitarwise to match that.

If the OP has thrown it out as a dream based question all is good. My answer stands. If you want the ultimate fender CS is the answer, ask Mike Eldred :wink: .


I whole heartily agree with you Niki! I love my CS and will keep it for as long as the good lord says so but.....
I've seen the Op, all today, say something about he bought a Road Worn, then took it back, got a CS60s to try for a few days and now I see him on another thread talking about having a 85 MIJ! I'm confused as to what he is doing or asking! :?

I have been as confused as you fhop :? and Niki you are Wise indeed :wink:

Koocho if you get a chance and the dealer has a Deluxe Roadhouse you may want to try one. They run ya like 750.00 and all that I have dealt with seem to be nice playing guitars. You can get them in a nice 3 tone burst with the shell guard and heavy tint neck ,and they have the Texas Special's in them.
