Shur Standard Korina & Fender Ultra

Hi reedit friends

Back in 2005 I've bought a Fender Standard Stratocaster USA made, maple, with SSS configuration that has been my workhorse for the last two decades.

Back in 2020, I've bought a Fender Stratocaster Ultra, maple with noiseless SSS pickups that's just stellar.

Close to me, a listing of a Shur Korina appeared. It's a standard, with Korina body, Korina neck and Pau Ferro fretboard. It has 2 pick guards with SSV pickups in HSH and SSH configuration.

The sticker on the guitar is close to 6000 euros, and the seller is asking for 60% of the original price.

I've opted to reach out to the PRS community, as you have made a decision to opt for a boutique - custom guitar instead of a off-the-shelf model

I keep finding myself going back to the Shur listing.

What should one expect when comparing the off-The-shelf Fender Ultra to the Shur classic ?
