Fender parts Strat - $380 shipped
Body: Robert Cray (violet); Fender hardtail bridge
Neck: Allparts (C shape, 9.5" radius rosewood fretboard, 21 frets MJ frets, gloss finish, great Fender repro logo, Kluson style tuners)
Electronics: Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Pro pickups (staggered), Acme Guitar Works Blender kit (top quality parts), parchment parts/pickguard
Overall, it's in very good condition. The body has a few dings and has a route for a an active kit or something (it's all covered up with the pickguard and even lightens the guitar a bit). The neck is very comfy (a tad chunkier than the modern C's on recent Fender Strats) and recently had a fret level.
This particular Strat is a real tone machine. The Alnico 2 Pro's give it classic, glassy Strat tone without the super harsh highs. Plus, they also provide boosted sustain with the lower magnetic string pull (versus A5's). The sustain is further enhanced by the string through hardtail bridge and the super tight neck pocket. The blender pot gives you extra tones to play around with; the neck and bridge together gives a great in-between Tele tone with the tone knob rolled off a bit.
I'll even throw in a cool Planet Waves Blasted leather strap (retails for $30).
$380 shipped via Fedex with a sweet crocodile skin hardshell case.
Parted out:
Cray body - $150 shipped
Allparts neck - $130 shipped
Wired pickguard -$125 shipped (Duncans alone - $85 shipped/wired pickguard sans pickups - $45 shipped)

Route 101 Rincon Custom (Tele style) - $220 shipped
These were really cool custom design guitars from the late 90's-early 2000's. The body is made of kapere, which is very similar (in appearance and tone) to mahogany; the finish is natural. The neck is maple with a rosewood fretboard. The neck has a pretty thin contour (thinner than Fender modern C) and a thinner nut width (a bit under 1 5/8). The action is very low and comfy. The pickups are GFS Repro 50's in the bridge and Fender USA Standard in the neck. The pots and switch are Fender branded CTS/CRL. The neck pickup route was routed out for a humbucker. I'll also throw in a mint green WD pickguard with a neck humbucker route that had to be custom made (costed $70!).
The tone of this guitar gets you classic Tele tones but without the harsh highs that can sometimes happen thanks to the kapere (mahogany-like) body wood. This wood provides for a slightly fatter, warmer, and rounder tone. It compliments the Tele tone perfectly.
Overall, it's in excellent condition with only one ding on the body. The guitar comes with a very nice custom molded Route 101 Rincon case. The guitar has Schaller straplocks installed.
