I have an LSL Saticoy stratocaster which is by far the best stratocaster I have ever played but they do come with a serious price tag. I have a Suhr standard so cant comment on Suhr stratocasters but the build quality is superb on all Suhr guitars. The second hand value of a Suhr will be far...
The main tragedy is the bad press you are getting on this forum from people who might otherwise bought guitars from your site but will not now in the future. I would stop digging this hole and return the guitar.
My Tonerider P90s say on the box
Made in China from parts sourced internationally.
Wire : USA/Japan
Magnets : China
Forbon : USA
Nickel-Silver : Japan/Taiwan
Hence the price I guess but they do sound very very good.
It looks like a Japanese Greco circa 1975. Usually pancake body with lower end models made from multiple pieces of wood including birch.
For that price I would get the guitar below, not mine, but for the money far better guitar than the greco gamble...
I wouldn't get to hung up on the bolt on neck, Suhr standard and moderns have bolt on necks and they are awesome guitars. I have owned and played some brilliant bolt on neck guitars. Yours looks great and if it sounds as good well done.
"hand built and never used" well why would you after waiting only 3 months for it to be built. I come from St Albans originally as my mates keep pointing out from the listing. Hangs head in shame.
I am tempted, imagine the riches that can be had selling the stratocaster patent that doesnt come with the guitar back to Fender who do. Its fool proof how can it fail.
