I always think of this model as definitive proof that a Wilkinson trem can make any guitar look ugly.Stumbled upon this weird one. I dig but it's not GAS for me, but I think it's in line with some guys here:

because people are weirdos lmao.
No expense spared there bud. I mean it's already very expensive for a non-prestige guitar that needs new pickups and trem without needing a refret, I don't care how rare or refinished it is.

No comment on his pricing but using tall thin frets in the upper register is not that uncommon I recall seeing that before.

That's fine if some people want it, but "upgrades" that are not user fixable are always going to hurt resale and be a deal breaker for a large chunk of people. The silly thing is that he tried to argue that it wasn't a deal breaker for me, as if his preferences make the guitar better when in my eyes they do the opposite as I have already stated. EDIT: I didn't include that part of the convo in the screenshot whoops
Also those frets are definitely not tall lol look at them they're like nubs

This guitar is about 120Km from me. I think it's funny and cool guitar, but doesn't fit my needs or habits. The metal headbanger in me says "BUY, BUY, BUY", but then enters the coin counter one that says "the other Saber (also 7 stringer) is just a couple hundred more"... and I love Sabers... and I'm not in a position to spend on guitars at the moment, so ... It's just a GAS fart...
I can't take this one on gigbags because there are none, so it would be one more case to lug around for rehearsals (and hopefully gigs in the near future)... I have to think in the practicality of things as well... but it sure could be a cool project...
@Metaldestroyerdennis can you post the link to that sale?

I would grab that thing. Youre hard pressed to find them less then $700 here in the states. Not sure the conversion these days but thats gotta be more than €350
I can do my own luthier work though, so condition is rarely an issue for me.

He's lying to you, if he truly wanted to spare no expenses he'd dig a deeper horn scoop for 24th feet access lolbecause people are weirdos lmao.

In that case he's probably going to rip them out and do it again

I'm searching everyday for a second hand Fender Stratocaster Vintera (SSS) with maple fretboard and possibly some kind of blue, seafoam green or purple color...but the color doesn't matter much, if I find a good price.
The maple fretboard is a must though.
But people expect to sell second hand for 80-90% of the price for brand new

In the 70s Dave Schecter started Schecter Guitar Research in Van Nuys, California, as a parts company for Fender style guitars, and quickly started selling completed guitars. Early on he hired a builder by the name of Thomas Anderson who also had an interest in building pickups. Shortly before selling SGR to a group of Texan investors in 1983, Dave recommended Mr Anderson go off and start his own company. This company, which is now widely known as Tom Anderson Guitarworks (TA for short), supplied parts, mainly pickups, to the late Van Nuys production and throughout the Dallas era.
When SGR was purchased by ESP in 1987 and moved back to California, the brand relaunched with a variety of pickups. Most of the pickups were made in house and harkened back to the look of the early era of Van Nuys guitars with their big pole pieces
Exactly who came up with the big pole pieces is unclear. Whether Dave Schecter had them and that's what Tom used during his time their and carried them on, or if Tom had the idea for himself would be a question for Tom.
