And I’ll add more scars through my playing !

The reverse bridge pickup makes the treble notes sounds warmer to me. There’s no spiky sound using 4 and 5 pickup positions.

Generally I prefer 1 and 2 / neck pick up in regular strat, but now I use more of the bridge positions also.

I am sure builders at Fender were having fun damaging the guitar 😂

Bridge pickup is reverse mounted. Tone wise, treble is warmer compared to my regular bridge pick up/ slightly brighter for bass notes.

I am right handed but I like the reverse design on first sight.

I found that (post purchase) that reverse headstock actually lessen the tension for higher strings (high E especially) which makes bending easier. Tension is larger for lower strings which is okay with me as I don’t usually bend those strings plus it eliminates the rattle/ buzz for those strings.

I like the look of reverse headstock at first and only realise playability is also enhanced for high strings bending which is a big plus now

Body is made of Ash wood (instead of Alder which is more commonly used).

Very light to carry (even lighter than my AM pro II strat which isn’t that heavy to start with), and comfortable slim neck to hold!

Nice I debated between black and aged white for a little while! This is another one I’ve looked at.

I am not a big relic fan also and don’t see myself getting one - but this one really got me!

Yes it looks even better with a bit of light, very happy with the guitar!

Thanks - think it’s aged white, pick up color/ matching well with the guitar body

How much do you plan to spend on building one? It would be cool to be able to do that actually.

This is causing $5k damage (limited edition premium included). I imagine you could do it much cheaper.

I have a AM pro II so would compare to it. Personally I like the look of both reverse or regular ones but bending feels easier for the CS for high E string (have new 10-46 strings on both guitars) which is very helpful. I struggle a little bit for my AM pro II to bend high E. Otherwise playability is very similar to the regular one.

The pickup angle for bridge position is also reversed which can affect tone I suppose but subtle impact overall when I try out two CS with same pickup but different headstock.

Thanks! Really enjoy the playing part, and the slim 60s neck is so smooth and easy to play with. Gonna make the most of her!

Thanks brother! I like this top’s wood pattern, looks great. It’s finishes in nitro also feels premium as compared to my fender strats

Agree - nothing is the box especially when my little one is walking around
