Hey, that's just a Strat, ain't it?
It is a Master Signature however, which must be better than just a Signature model, so there you go.
 
Heck yes!

24 frets, shorter LP-scale, narrower nut width...It'd be absolutely perfect with no middle pickup, and a 3-way LP-style pickup selector :embarrassed:
 
Wait what? I just looked up the price. $3700??????? That is just stupid expensive. Like the guitar hate the price.
 
Nice bit of wood. Not sure about zero frets but I wouldn't let that stop me giving it a go.
 
I like the appointments on the guitar (the features and hardware, etc...), but somehow it just doesn't come together into a package that I could see paying that much for.

Sure, it is a VERY nice guitar, but I don't like it enough to justify that kind of price-tag.

It just doesn't ooze "Mojo" or something......


Honestly, it reminds me of an older Japanese Charvel. Quite a bit, actually. And I could pick up one of those for a shit-ton cheaper.
 
I dug the original Vigiers, but their take on the Strat and Les Paul do not appeal to me at all. They sound great, but I'll leave to Shawn, Ron Thal, and Christophe Godin. I'll take one of the Stanley Jordan style ones though.
