I hope you're not projecting from past experiences!

It's a brand new, production line guitar from a run of thousands. Made by people and machines in a massive corporate facility. Also, a USA Standard is not really a good candidate for this kind of work. Weight relieved body, different headstock pitch, etc.
If someone has the dough and is so inclined, seems like a fun project to me. Seems to me that Florian puts a lot of love, heart and craftsmanship into what he does. Maybe the owner can afford it and is simply just enjoying the fun of the process. It may or may not be a "better" guitar, but I'd be willing to bet that Florian doesn't just fuck up a perfectly good Historic, take the customer's money and laugh all the way to the bank. From what I've seen/read the results are mostly pretty sweet.
I mean, put a Floyd on a real 'Burst, scallop the fretboard, throw in some active pickups and rout it for an on board preamp and special tone circuitry? Yeah, probably not cool.
Please understand, I get it that some people think this whole process is a foolish endeavor. If that's not your thing, I respect that. I just think these are fun projects, and again, if you have the funds a brand new, mass produced guitar is the perfect platform.
Blah, blah, blah. Sorry to be so long winded.
So, to orreman I say, enjoy the process, I hope you enjoy the final product and thanks for sharing.
