How is the retail price for this $1700 if it's routinely on sale for half that or less?

definitely inflated MSRP, retail in Europe is ~1200bucks, for 650 it is a fantastic MX strat with Eddie features and a great trem and D-tuna.

Anyone have one of these? Is it as overrated as Eddie himself?

I bought a white one a while back and like it. The neck is really nice and the pickup rocks. Just wish I could find a pickguard that fits so I could wire in the neck pickup and put a middle one in for a super strat.

I tried the striped version at a local store, and I didn't like the sound or how the neck felt. Bought a wolf special that is great.

This is a steal at this price w/ it's features and nitro body.

The MSRP is definitely inflated, but at this price you're getting features that punch way out of other guitars in it's class. These guitars compare best w/ Charvel in terms of features and production location (Mexico).

I bought this in 2024 when it was 700 - it's worth it.

I meant one that I wouldn't have to modify myself. I tried one but it didn't fit.

You're dealing with a guitar whose whole thing is that it is modified. So I don't thing that you'll find a pick guard that doesn't need to be modified. The bridge pickup is at an odd angle for a humbucker. Hack away.

Someone from a previous post mentioned they installed a Strat Floyd Rose pickguard and shaved the pickguard with dremel. But also said a Charvel pickguard would have been easier.

I did this with a strat pickguard that's properly routed for a floyd rose. I had to dremel around the neck pocket for the squared off neck though, which I didn't think about when I bought it.

I think a charvel pickguard would fit up w/o modifications.
