Given your expensive prices probably U.S. Suggested Retail price at Maximum Exchange rate, can you at least request Fender USA to hand pick the good sounding ones?
There is this gold finished Fender Showmaster Custom Shop that does not sound as good as the cheaper non Custom Shop Fender USA models at your Buendia branch. Worse, there seems to be a credit card sized thick gap at the neck pocket joint between the body and the neck.
