- Jon, Worcester ('54 Strat 2-Tone Sunburst).

"I look forever to find this guitar then i come across your site and one was ordered especially for me to buy! I am so happy with this perfect guitar i now wish to buy another so i will speak to you soon!" - Tommy, Sweden (Kotzen Tele SF Green).
"WOW!!!!!!!!! Not only a fantastic deal with brilliant free delivery - the guitars far exceed my expectations! I cannot put the 57 down - it's everything I was looking for in a Strat - the same see through body as a Mary Kay (which would cost £2,000+ from the USA factory) and the most amazing build quality. It sounds really transparent - can't wait to put it through my old Deluxe Reverb. I can't stop looking at the 54 - beautiful wood and quality again - but subtle differences from the 57. Thanks George for 2 beautiful guitars - I'll be in touch again". - Bob, Wales ('57 Strat Blonde & '54 Strat 2-Tone SB).

"Hi, I Just received the guitar! Thanks ever so much, its absolutely stunning. BBV finish is amazing. Fantastic service, thanks again!" - Chris (Strat Special).
"I received the Strat ST54 this morning - fast delivery and well packaged & all in working order. The guitar looks stunning in the 2 tone sunburst ash body. The V-shape neck is great and so easy to play. The pups are great and offer a huge difference in tone from my old Fender “Squier” standard Strat. All in all a great guitar and much better buy than the 50’s Classic Strat MIM that I had been thinking of buying. Thanks for all your advice/emails etc. Hope to buy again in the future ……'52 Tele possibly". - Jon, Colchester ('54 Strat 2-Tone SB).

"I would like to say thank you for your advice and honest description of the guitar. Buying unseen from the US was a little daunting but speaking with you put my mind at ease.
