I kind of started this debate in my "Wolfgang" post. Here's the deal: I have my dream guitar in mind. It's a natural finished strat with two single coils and a humbucker, maple fret board and black pickguard and knobs.
I can get either a G&L S-500 made to my specs or a Fender Amercian Deluxe with a few changes. Both dealers want the same cash with my trade.
The Fender dealer says the G&L won't hold its value and of course the G&L dealer says the S-500 is a "real" Strat. I'm leaning towards the G&L partly because the guy says he can have it in three weeks and Ive heard some good things about them in this group.
Any thoughts?
