I am considering a guitar described below... not the official Fender custom
shop Gilmour special which sells for a lot of money, but rather a tweaked
USA strat. Can anyone comment on the resale value of a guitar like that?
I've also never played a maple fretboard (more used to rosewood or ebony)...
does one easily adapt to that change?

Any input appreciated (I know I have to try the guitar and see how it
actually feels... I'm looking for general opinions). For reference, the
asking price is $1K. Thanks.

"USA Fender strat converted to Gilmour strat (the chrome red metallic one he
used from the 80's to the late 90's). Circa 1996 chrome red with maple/maple
neck, microtilt adjustment, naturally aged vintage amber with wear spots.
Very fast action. With Fender lsr roller nut, Fender diecast staggered
tuners. DG-20 EMG (David Gilmour signature electronics stock EMG) with
special active equalizing. Modern USA Fender bridge with Feraglide strat
saddles (by Graphtech). Aged vintage white trim kit (knobs, switch tip, and
tremolo arm tip). Tremolo arm is shortened to 4 1/4" like Gilmour's. Pickups
are also vintage aged white with gold lettering. David Gilour laser-etched
neck plate. Single ply aged white pickguard will also be supplied (the EMG
pickguard assembly is pearloid). Teardrop hardshell case included."
