Specials... interesting, in my opinion...

I think that guitar would look sweet if it had a white or sunburst finish--I don't particularly like the natural finish with that pickguard. But hey, that's why it's custom! And just out of curiosity, how much does it generally cost to get a custom shop guitar made to your own specs? Like $6000-ish?

I agree that it isn't too eye-pleasing with a natural/tortie/gold scheme.

Like I wanted a custom shop charcoal frost metallic and they said they cant even do a racing stripe anywhere on the guitar because it's too similar to Johns

Red VooDoo Strat There's the Mexi with the lefty neck, a dozen variations of the VooDoo Strat, the '68 RI NOS... the list goes on. Its just getting a little silly around here.
