Pre-emptive apologies to Fender and Gibson lovers, but... I just can't like them at all.
When so many skilled luthiers produce such great instruments at the faction of what a custom Gibson or Fender (that also look like 60 years ago; come on, give us something modern), while at the same time offering great playability, options and support, I simply cannot support these companies. Especially when I see relic'd instruments costing 5K (or even 25K in case of Gibbons's signature).
This custom designer shows how rigid Fender's mentality on design is. But that's OK I guess, if one considers that they cater to a specific audience.
