      The “regular” MIM Strats are $850 right now. The brand-name Invader pickup is $100 if you buy it alone. You’re already basically at $1k, plus the fact that the fretboard is Rosewood which you can’t get with MIM guitars right now. I’m not saying everyone should think it’s worth the price but I also don’t think it’s a blatant ripoff: guitars are just expensive AF across the board right now, and many people came in with expectations that just don’t match the price of what guitars are going for right now.

      @andy_182 Not crazy for fans and I'm not trying to desuade any of them from buying it. I completely understand in those regards, just for newcomers that don't understand this can be done so much cheaper than what this is offered for. They'd be paying the prices of entry level US made fender guitars for a lightly modded stripped down mim strat. I have a signature guitar on pre-order so I definitely understand paying the artist tax for fans. But they should ignore my comment anyways, if they want it they should get it. But you gotta admit $1300 was pushing the limit to the max considering the rest of fenders signatures

      There’s a local premium guitar shop nearby where I live and they’ll receive new custom shop Fender guitars once per month with an *Average* price of CS Telecasters and Stratocasters snugly at $3,800.
      Some are priced over $5,000.
      That’s big money.
      I always wonder how good the CS strats sound compared to the American Professional and MiM lines

    Awesome guitar, but I feel like they missed a trick with this reissue. Rather than doing the same 4 colours as the original run, it would've been cool to see some of the colours Tom used that were never available such as Capri Orange, Inca Silver etc. Still, I'm so glad it's been revived. I had to grab a Daphne Blue one. I've wanted one for as long as I can remember, but I couldn't bring myself to pay £2k+ for a used one 😅

    $1300 is a lot for that. The Kurt Cobain Jag-stang reissue is cheaper than that by $400.

    Dude played Green Day style songs on a blink-182 guitar. Lols 😂

    $1300 for an artist model. That's nothing out of the ordinary. But a Strat that's not made in the U.S. [or Japan]? Hold on, now. MIM Fenders are FANTASTIC. But, at U.S. pricing? C'mon...

    Hard tail and block saddles for 'rock solid tuning stability'. Paired with vintage tuners... 🤔 For $1300 they should at least be vintage style, locking Gotoh's.

    It would have been with if the guitar had a whammy bar and white finished options.

    @Wubzo2 11 місяців тому +1

    seems neat but it feels a bit like a ripoff to sell a strat with less features in every single way for the same price as a player plus strat that could do everything this one can do and more

    Everyone’s opinions are different. Awesome guitar but way over priced. Would be £600 UK if it didn’t have his name on it. Lovely instrument and if you want one go ahead and get it! Unfortunately I can’t justify spending £1300 UK on it.
