Comments: Hi, I have been enjoying your web site. It is full of good info and great pix of guitars. I have, what I believe to be a 54 custom edition strat. It has a serial number beginning with "M" (I assume it is a 92 or 93). I would like to get as much history type info if that is possible. I would like to know more about the custom edition team and identifying these guitars and possible values. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks, Art

Comments: Hi: Thanks for posting all this information! I have a late 80's Strat Plus in Bahama Green, which I personally ordered from Melody Music in Denver. The S.N. is E-911xxx. I was a manager and salesperson there from 88 till around 93, and placed this order myself in late '88. Bahama Green was recommended by the sales rep, Mike DeDona, who was a personal friend and knew what I liked. I really enjoyed your site; thanks for your efforts!

Comments: Thanks for the info on the Stratocaster Deluxe Plus. I bought a new natural/rosewood one in 1991 complete with inspection labels, etc. The serial number is E921xxx, (made in USA) which does not seem to correspond with what I am reading. Can you clarify? Thanks, Elmo.

Comments: I really love this site Xhefri. Great work. Your guitar work and love of something a little different is great. I wanted to ask a question and I'm not sure if this place to do it. If not, I apologise. I have a 94-95 Fotoflame Tele (serial starting with T). It has 3 active white emg's that look really nice and a 5 way switch. It looks like the red wine color but the back (not foto) goes from red to a honey color in the middle. It has the hamburglar face on the neck (foto). The battery 'just' fits in the routed pot switch area and it sounds great. My question is would the pickups be standard? If not, would you leave them in? Thaks again for a great site.
Comments: I have a 1988 strat.Serial # E488066 no locking tunners, no wilkinson nut but it does have gold lace sensors. Is this a standard strat. or a plus ? the neck has John Cruz name on it and the body has Ospallares name on it. This serial # is some what confusing. Thanks Chaz
