Oooh - that looks nice! What is the signature on the headstock?
I think I hate being indecisive.

Its Paul Waller. Most Custom shop guitars have the std logo, like on the inside of the case, but i guess Masterbuilt have the V but with the MB signature over the top. From what i've read he is the newest masterbuilder.

Based on 1963 Strat. Alder body - she weights 7.26lbs. Quarter-sawn maple neck with mid-’60s oval “C” back shape. Round-lam rosewood fingerboard, 10.5inch radius and medium jumbo frets. Hand-wound pickups by Abigail Ybarra: Custom ’65s in the middle and neck, with a slightly hotter version at the bridge. Got the 63 short trem arm and metal plate cover for the bridge saddles in the case.
