Great price if one of these styles appeals to you ... Only a few hundred more than the new American Ultra Luxe Vintage models.
Even with that discount I don't think I could be talked into that Masterbuilt...

I would love a custom shop just to have one, but a used American Ultra with some mods is thousands less and plays and sounds the same.

No one would be stupid enough to pay that kind of money for a Fender Strat, with all its hit-or-miss quality, without even trying it out first. If you're buying a guitar online, the PRS is the only choice. Just get a Silver Sky US, and it could be your last Strat.
There's no "hit-or-miss quality" from the Fender Custom Shop. They're all phenomenal.

My thoughts exactly. This is a great time to buy a Fender Custom Shop. I've been seeing them drop in price lately, presumably for shops to make room for the newer Fender production models. I have a '65 Journeyman Relic Strat and love it.

As someone that owns and plays both Custom Shop and Ultra Strats and Teles daily - I have a slightly different take on it. The Ultras are FANTASTIC guitars, but I would never mistake one for a Custom Shop, which in my experience are at another level. If Ultras are a well cooked steak - custom shops are a well cooked steak with melted butter. The difference to me is that an Ultra feels like it could be my favorite guitar and a Custom Shop feels like it's been my favorite guitar for decades.

Here is the rub, none of these are artist custom shop models.

So you are paying 3k for a fender that when you go to resell it, 99% of the people with ANY interest are going to be looking at it like it's any other american fender, so good luck getting that extra 2k out of them. Even the ones that are custom shop, are just random ideas.

PRS is not immune to hit-or-miss quality. I demoed a $800 SE silver sky with inexcusably bad fretwork. You'd be better off buying a Made-in-Mexico Fender standard model any day of the week.

The Silver Sky (USA and otherwise) is probably the most over-hyped guitar in current production. Even ignoring that headstock, it's not a very faithful reproduction especially with respect to neck shape and radius, and you should definitely play one before buying it.

If you have thousands of dollars to spend on a guitar and you want a real strat, there's no reason not to consider the genuine article. It doesn't have to be brand new either.

Genuine? The current Fender has nothing to do with the original Fender from the early 1960s; they're just mass-producing Strat copies like the other companies. If someone wants to call it 'genuine' just because they're legally allowed to use the Fender name, they're better suited for law than for music.
