If it had a maple fret board maybe.

Also I priced the Warmoth parts and after parts shipping tax someone to put it all togethers and a case I'm at the price of a AVRI 57 or a Clapton strat, though I do hate sig nature strats.

Since it's my goal to someday own an AVRI '57, I'd go with that. But that's just me.

Happy hunting!

On my last Strat hunt I allowed myself a budget of $2,500 and was willing to go to $3,000 if I saw something incredible.I tried 9 or 10 Strats but settled for a $900 Jimmie Vaughn with a V neck.The JV is an incredible guitar with Tex-Mex pups and the sound it has is a lot like the sound of my '65 Strat.
