I have a Standard American Strat and I was wonder just how much different a Custom Shop Strat would be, and if its worth the extra money? Thanks, ZJ

As far as I know the fender custom shop has the first choice of woods. I think they have more experienced builder team than the normal shop.

I have a few custom shop guitars and the only difference that I can point to is the feeling of the guitar when I play.

But I am curious to what others have to say about your question Kenny.

There are a bunch of different CS models; some are closer in spec to the American Standards while others are closer to vintage specs. As chrismagic says they have better woods because they get first crack at the wood stock, etc. and they have a smaller crew of the most experienced people building them. Now is it better for you than your American Standard - well you've got to play them and see if they are. I've played CS Fenders that didn't do anything for me compared to production line guitars, and I've played other ones that were really killer guitars.
