Fender: Malmsteen Tribute Strat

This is the new Malmsteen Tribute Strat by Fender, not cheap (>USD 12K...) & you get all the cracks & gunk courtesy of the Malmsteen rigours.

I remember reading something about this guitar of his & it came to me today- the headstock snapped/cracked. I'd say Fender would recreate this mishap in the tribute series but would you buy something quasi-destroyed?

i'm hoping to get a malmsteen inspired strat next year but certainly wouldn't pay that for a beat up guitar...

it's definitely ok to invest in our hero-related guitars (signature models to the rest of us) but keep the purchase objective: do we buy it to play or hang it up in admiration of its eccentricities?
