There is no way to "deal" on a Fender Custom Shop Jeff Beck Strat.

These are not something you can "deal" on when you buy them brand new. I look at music stores all over the country before I buy something. Been doing this a long, long time.
Go ahead...look around the world and see if you can find a handmade custom shop Fender Strat like that one at a substantially lower price brand new. You won't.

As far as building a Frankenstrat...of course you can build a guitar on a budget...but that guitar wasn't what was badass, it was what Eddie's fingers do on that guitar.
I'm pretty confident that he can take any guitar and make it sound good. It's in the fingers.
