For that money, I'd rather get my own custom guitar made to MY OWN specs and have change left over.

Fair enough if you've got the disposable income for it.

I do however like the Relic's Fender make because they feel great, I just think it's a bit too much money.  I know of a tech that does relic jobs to any guitar and they feel just as great, but not as expensive.

You wouldn't go to a shop with a guitar you've scratched, dented, sweated one, broke, modified and discoloured and expect to get top £ or $ for, so why charge that much just because it came out of the factory like that.

The DG Start looks ok to me but I very much doubt I'd ever get one.It doesn't grab me but then sagain, very few signature guitars do. As I am fond of Strats, I am sure if I were to play one I would probably like it.

Caparison has left a nasty taste, even if I had the money for one, I wouldn't touch it  :shock:

I quite like the idea of the DG Strat, but the fretboard wear looks awful on the relic version (and I don't care if it's accurate or not).

I wouldn't buy one even if I tripped over wads of tenners when I got out of bed in the morning.  But then I'm not a huge Gilmour fan, even though he is a very fine player.

The day before Fender announced the release of the DG strat, I started researching his guitars so I could put one together. I had 90% of it figured out when I read the press release. What a coincidence that I made the decision to have one, 1 day before they made the announcement. I took that as a sign and made sure to order one.

No, I don't have that kind of money, and I'm not sure how I'm gonna pay for it (since I do play music for a living, after all), but that kind of coincidence can't be ignored.

I'm still working on my own custom strat as well, built to my exact specs (and of course, with Bare Knuckle Pickups).
