Sound
I figured I
Features
24 fret would be nice as well. but if you don't need it then this is a perfect instrument.
Quality
Fender Custom shop builds these as they are ordered and the setup is better than the standard Fender mass built guitar. I even think it is like YJM likes it.
Value
for around $1300 for a USA Custom shop Artist guitar that can hold its own agains the Ibanez Steve Vai($2000+) and Gibson Les Paul Jimmy Page($5000+). Please consider selling you old guitars to get this one!
The Wow Factor
I have dreamt about it since I was 15.
