i guess the easiest way i can say this is, i have an original 1955 stratocaster and the quality (both in craftsmanship and sound) surpasses anything the "custom shop" has EVER PUT OUT. and that guitar (the 55 strat) was built on a regular production line. all i'm saying is fender needs to stop ripping you kids off and start offering quality products again.

my friend just got a 52 reissue with a seymour duncan mini humbuggy and the ash body, and man that thing can sing!

I have a 52 re-issue I reckon it is better than a 52 original. Sure if you like the history of the original like an antique thats cool but the re-issue is super cool. I had a jap esquire when they first came out they had a paper made in japan. I took that of and took it to some vintage guitar dealers. They never knew it was new till I told them after they offered big money for it. Made me think!

So this is a shitty "modern" Tele with a flat skinny neck and jumbo frets pretending to be a vintage Tele? You couldn't give me that thing.

@PopExpo I have played some really poor Fenders from this period as well. A 55 year old guitar that has spent all that time on the road is subject to a lot of wear and tear. The guitars I've played from the CS have been very good - 'rip off' is a little subjective. In addition, there are some very good independent companies making very high quality copies with 50s specs...so it's not all bad news.

@WoWintosh sure thing, moron! guess your mommy didn't teach you any manners huh? she too busy on the corner? aw it's okay we can get you some help! first of all NEVER come at someone like that in person. i know hiding behind a computer talking shit is easy and all, but you never know who might break your jaw when you're right in front of them :)

second he's right. i've owned/played several cust shop and vintage fenders and vintage wins every time. so you sir can shut the hell up! bye now!

@PopExpo If somone is looking for 50's style Strat it's hard to go wrong with the Eric Johnson. Great build quality and attention to detail at $1500. Im, also digging the 60th anniversary series Tele's.Both these guitars are production instruments.

why would you want a tele to sound like a strat?? just get a strat! teles are known for that kind of sound, if you don't like that sound, just get a strat! why would you waste so much money buying a tele that sounds like a strat, when you can just get a strat? that's just stupid.
