True, and I agree but it doesn’t mean that CS was ever right for them. If you pick up a CS and it doesn’t feel fabulous and play nicely then you wasted money on it.
 

The doors on a bmw close differently than the ones on my Peugeot 108 - for the money asked a CS should be like the BMW 

But do they close like a 1960’s BMW 507? I’ve not played a CS and am not really in the market for one so can’t accurately access their value or quality. From what I have seen online they do a lot of bespoke work some of which are vintage spec so won’t suit everyone’s taste or requirements.

Yes, okay… 99% perfect. but if you CS order a passive custom shop instrument and then immediately add a pre amp, something is wrong 

Possibly but I suspect some people would want to rip the guts out of a 50’s P as it wasn’t hot enough for their tastes.

It should be totally perfect for the money they ask. There’s enough cash to set it up perfectly before it leaves and enough £ for great sounding authentic pickups that you don’t want to change … imho

There is no way to produce a perfect product that sounds great to everyone. Personally I don’t like the sound or look of Brian May’s guitar. Several hundred thousand disagree with me.

I have never played a CS but expect the extra cash goes on man hours as they are “bespoke” instruments. TBH instruments are generally so well put together these days some aftermarket pickups and a good setup can make most of them sound and play pretty well. If people want to pay for a CS whether they are a “blues lawyer” or a pro musician it’s giving someone pleasure and keeping folk in work so that’s fine by me. Personally I will stick to MIJ Fenders as I haven’t found a duff one yet. Speaking of which the hunt goes on for a MIJ Duff Mckagan.

plagiarised? More inspired I would think.

Although now you just have to use the same chords and you are in court.

Plus one to that. As much as I like the stones in particular I think the Vikings did less plundering. Then there is Led Zep…

Low - David Bowie
