Strat builders

That's pretty much what I think
You might as well just put something together yourself and get someone to bolt it together if you can't
Even if you sell all the bits separately i think you'd get most of your money back.

Or another good option is cs strat, you'd probably get one secondhand.

My friends son has a fender select strat which is really good, for him not me
It was about £1800 brand new.

Paying £2500-£3000 for a strat is nuts to me.

Another cost effective option would be get hold of a second hand Eric Johnson strat and customise to your tastes?

I agree for any in the £2.5-3k price... Except fender custom shops which hold value reasonably well

Been a while since I have seen the new price of a bravewood, but I remember it being below £2k.... And good enough to get me mentally counting pennies in the bank even though I could do it all myself for cheaper

There is a company that make Stratocasters I think they are called Fender.

Nah, they just assemble factory made parts
