$5000.00 is a bit much for a beat up Strat. I wouldn't buy one regardless of my means.
But, as a guy who has had a lot of guitars and also worked in two guitar shops I will say that the difference between a heavily modded/upgraded $350 axe and a $1500 to $3000 axe is (most of the time) demonstrative. You owe it to yourself to try a Tom Anderson, LSL, Suhr, Tyler, Nash, Sadowsky, Xotic or a high end Ibanez or 'Custom Shop' Fenders and Gibsons and "honestly" compare and evaluate. And I mean honestly. It's easy to be biased after all the work you've put into finding the right pkups and paying a luthier for an immaculate setup. Of all the guitars I've had and still have, Only one compares with my higher end instruments. A $400 mim tele with new pickups and bridge. I've gone through a lot of cheap Strats that sort came close to my 'good' ones but ultimately fell short, even with new pkups, better parts and a great set up. I'll have two up for sale shortly. In short, a $2000 or thereabouts solid body from a good builder (and there are many) is 90% of the time gonna be a better axe than you can Frankenstein from a budget electric + new parts, etc. *Can you make great and compelling music on a cheap axe? Of course. The 'music' isn't the guitar. It's you. This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 4 2019, 03:44 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I want one of these ... https://www.vintageguitar.com/31937/xotic-g...fornia-classic/
I need to sell a couple of things first. They're around $2200 US for the standard model. The factory is in Van Nuys CA which is a Suburb of Los Angeles. About 20 minutes from where I live. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Mateus Asato signature Suhr.
There are a few Suhrs I'd love to try with my credit card far away from my reach. -------------------- My SoundCloud

I just sold two electrics and put a down payment on that Xotic 'Cali Classic' that I posted several posts back.
It looks like the picture (below) except that it will have a Rosewood fingerboard. Here's a link to the Xotic company. It's the same co. that makes the Xotic effects like the BB and AC overdrives and EP booster, etc. http://xotic.us/instruments/guitars/xsc-series This post has been edited by klasaine: Apr 17 2019, 11:24 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

It'll be at least 4 months. Depends on wood availability, especially the Rosewood (Indian) for the fingerboard.
