Fender CS Masterbuilt Showmaster...

[Carbophos]

The funniest thing is that it has Stratocastet decal with "synchronized tremolo" (Well, OFR may be considered a synchronized tremolo to certain extent) and "original contoured body" (it's not original but dinky) lines

The BC Rich style black diamonds are a nice touch to the black hardware. The ash body to that birdseye neck is beautifully done too. Nice piece of work.

Wow, that is simply beautiful! Congratulations on conceiving a work of art!

Wow, what a fantastic guitar! That's definitely one of the coolest things I've ever seen from Fender.

He's just making sure the specs are correct: "Are you absolutely sure you want a bass pickup installed like this?"

not a bad wait time at all ...

Yeah, but I have to add 1-2 months to the delivery routine (FMIC USA->FMIC Europe -> Russia). Honestly, it could be built much sooner, if I ordered it a bit earlier last year. So it would be finished before Fender CS was extremely busy with NAMM guitars and Eric Clapton Blackie replicas.

It looks wonderful. Using the same stain on the neck and back is a cool reference to the early Dimarzios. The heel is a nice touch. The diamonds complement the body grain nicely. I am sure Yuriy was happy to practice is art on the heel. Solid body electrics are a walk in the park for a genuine luthier of his calibre. I hope it makes its way safely to your hoem.
