Hot or Not? Fender Custom Shop Ritchie Blackmore Signature Stratocaster

[vintage clubber]

I got to pricing it today and it's EIGHT THOUSAND dollars.................absurd dosent even cut it,that is fucking INSANE.
I bought my 1997 CIG signature strat for $800 in 2003,and i'll just stick with it

Poor man's version here:

Poor man's version here:

In my experience with FCS guitars, that Squier *might* play better...

I'm also surprised that with the $8k price tag it's not relic'd to hell and back.

I actually considered that one when it was out.

HOWIECASTER

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

I can't live with that awful headstock. (no, they're not all beautiful. some, like this one are atrocious) Just awful, 8k is laughable.

all headstocks ARE beautiful.

Idiotic price. Criminally idiotic in fact.

I love big head stocks and I can not lie.

At 8,000 dollars, it either better buy me dinner first, or come with lube.

Given the price tag alone, decidedly NOT. Also, historical accuracy aside, I have no use for a guitar with that tight a radius, only 21 frets, and only a three way pick up selector with the multiple options offered by the three pick ups.
