How's that compare to a 10K usd eye-poker-outer:
(or potentially a bottle opener for a much larger and weaker bottle)

Off topic slightly, but I always chuckle when these $10K+ guitars charge for shipping. The Toone and the Blackmachines on Reverb are all charging. Could you not just build it in the price or eat the shipping charge if some asshole pays you $10K?

I know. The one thing I like about ebay is how you can enter the dimensions of the box and weight when you create the listing so you can accurately charge shipping (not sure if reverb does that?). I've been both burned on shipping costs where I underestimated, and also "accidentally" made a few bucks over charging shipping when I entered a flat cost.

I normally try to account for full shipping costs and then some insulation for the Reverb fees so I can list it for lower and people can give better offers. Covers the full shipping at worst and at best I can take a slightly lower deal than I want since the fees are eaten a little.

I've always wanted a Strat with the Hendrix pickup config. But given I don't like 6-point trems and tend to like active pickups, I made a few tweaks. 
One of my first ever mod projects was to try and to a Jake E Lee Strat.
Now that Squier is releasing this, I can try it again.
The one I ordered has a matching headstock

Man I think I fucked up, there was a mint Vigier Excalibur Special 7 on Reverb and he offered me $1880 for it...I was holding out to think about it for a couple of hours since I'm currently waiting on my Maslow to be finished and was thinking if I wanted that slight $$$ discomfort and it got sold.

I was debating on getting the blue one with the trem, but I do want a hardtail Strat in the arsenal. Something different.
Speaking of mod projects, I kinda drifted away from the Jake E Lee tribute and went onto something a bit more... unique

I love the sky burst (blue) but I had already ordered the Squier Modern JM in that color lol. So it was sunburst, skyburst, black with anodized pickguard, or white with black pickguard.

I really, really wish Jags didn't have such a short scale length. Because those things look so good.
But when you get it, lemme know how it is. Once my tax return comes in, I'm putting an order down on the HT.

I'm not usually picky about woods but someone needs to condition the Indian Laurel in those Squier fretboards or something, they look horribly dry in flesh.

I want an old school black, pointy, pissed off 7 Soloist. Really hoping for a pro series Loomis but who knows if..and when.
Talk me in/out of the current SL7...cuz damn it pretty much ticks all the boxes.

Same.
Something about the shape just does it for me in a way none of their other own designs have. It's clearly something "more" than an RG/Soloist but no where near as aggressively different/odd/oblong as many of the other boutique "non-RGs" are when it comes to curves and horns. Vandermeij was brought up in the thread as potential inspiration for the shape and man I can't stand their curves, but this Balaguer is toned down enough to still look unique while meeting traditional super strat aesthetics for those of us who don't like radical change in the shape.

I'd want the first one with two three way pickup selectors, two volumes (bridge, single coils), and a push/pull tone control. One three way pickup selector would be a small toggle like on the Schecters with sustainiac pickups in the neck. The second a standard blade three way. The tone would coil tap the bridge humbucker for three single coils. Toggle selects middle, neck, or both single coils for a sort of two humbucker thing. Blade selection bridge, whatever the toggle selects, and both.
