MIM guitars are generally well thought of from the many user reviews I have read, and from what I have had in my hands as I audition guitars from time to time. This model was no exception but for the fact that hum cancelling pickups were desirable so I swapped in a set of DiMarzio Heavy Blues, and stopped the tremolo block a la EC. For me, it was a great player modified that way. If you want more of the look of Buddy's stage guitar consider installing gold lace sensors with black covers. I don't see an indication for active electronics and that 25DB midboost circuit as a must here. Buddy's sound does not general offer that kind of 'growl' Just for an historical perspective, the original Buddy Guy Artist Series guitar was what Fender now calls the Powerhouse Strat. It was on for a very short period of time and then supplanted by the current offering in blond or two-tone sunburst.
I bought this guitar back in september of 2006. I love this Guitar. It has amazing sound even though it's not american made. It look very unique and sylish and is easy and fun to play great price and is woth every penny
There is not currently a Custom Shop edition of this guitar. A LTD edition is planned for Sept 2010 release which is proported to be blond. There is an Artist Series with different electronics which is described in the Fender Products Section of their website, but that is standard production line generated.
