Close enough for me, and with positions 1 and 3 that I'd actually be MORE likely to use.

But I'm on record (repeatedly) as not liking most Strat bridge pickups and most Tele neck pickups. So Strat-Strat-Tele is a great combo for me. For other people, with other preferences...maybe, maybe not.

With a Strat pick up in a Nashville Tele, will it (blind folded) sound like a legit Strat ?

This is, as the kids used to say, extremely my s***. I have no memory of this model, though. The Strat trem makes it look a lot like the current American Performer JM.

That came to mind, too, but they are nearly double the OP's stated budget. I'm not even sure it's officially out yet. I love this as a concept, but the price and the hideous color combination would be more than enough to send me over to the likes of Warmoth.

yeah its a bit much
but it does express the OPs desire so well

What's the name of the model? A Reverse GIS brought up, weirdly, the G&L Jerry Cantrell Rampage.

I'm can't tell what's going on with the finish, but a gold pickguard on a warm white is a-ok by me. Is this one transparent over flame?

The Godin is a great guitar. Their designs are always a little 'chunky' and not as sleek as some other companies, but I do appreciate that they have their own thing going on there. That little button on the pickguard changes the tone pretty drastically, too. It isn't a gimmick at all.

If you can swing a Musicman Albert Lee -we'll that's as good of a guitar that your'e going to find

I'd be into that. I saw recently that Fender released a JM/Strat combo that was a Strat body with JM pickups and trem (and maybe switching? I can't recall). Really, to me, a Worst-of-both-Worlds scenario.

Haha, worst of both worlds. My father recently became the proud owner of one. Haha. The seafoam green color scheme does look cool, but to me, that is not enough to justify that MSRP pricepoint of $1600. He did get $800 towards it though with the sale of another guitar of his prior.

Wow, they really are out of original ideas. I wonder if a computer program mashes up a few different models, and that qualifies as 'design'. Bleh.

Honestly, this kind of stuff would be a great fit for their "mod shop" - mix and match bits from different existing models that they already have the tooling for, all at about $2k- instead of the very limited options they offer there right now.
