What do you think is better

[golden gull]

Which would you get if you had to pick one?

[hot zealot]

i'd get the ultra lux

[regal silo]

The HSS....always

[solemn light]

I'd actually get the custom

Actually id also get the HSS lol

[golden gull]

what does custom shop really add besides muh reliccing

[solemn light]

Yeah that's why I went to the HSS side

[regal silo]

But not for 2.8K ... there's tons and tons of HSS strats that are amazing for less than 1K that even come with better/nicer specs

[regal silo]

I hope stainless steel frets for a change

I don't get how 2.8k is justified for a basic ass strat

[solemn light]

Nitro finish clay dots stainless steel frets compound radius neck

[regal silo]

Nitro sucks, why do dots matter ? , stainless steel of course for that price , compound radius I have on my 380 euro headless too

I know these things are 'special' and 'premium' in Fenderland ... But not really

Funny that those 'clay' dots are actually just fiberboard

[golden gull]

Stopped reading after u said nitro sucks

Poly feels like plastic toy guitar

[regal silo]

i don;t like how nitro ages ... I don;t want my guitar to age

[golden gull]

Ok good luck never scratching or denting ur guitar for 40yrs

[regal silo]

I dent and scratch my guitars all the time ... I just don't like how nitro ages I guess

[golden gull]

🤦‍♀️ nitro ages gracefully poly just chips and looks terrible
