Thanks for your kind words on my photo's guys, but I gotta tell you, this guitar is absolutely stunning in the flesh.
From some angles in certain lights it is a deep creamy red, and in others it has that fiesta red / pink tinge to it. It is actually VERY close to the USA custom shop fiesta red.
The pickups are (as you would expect from Tonerider....the actual supplier!) top notch (plenty of sweet Strat tones there!), and unique to this model having a mixture of alnico 3 and 5 polepieces in each pickup.
It is one very special guitar!.....
'Peter Cooks guitar world' in Hanwell, London are willing to ship these over to the USA (or anywhere else), but unfortunately the exchange rate will probably dampen the proceedings somewhat (US residents will be looking at probably twice the normal price of a CV Strat).
Here's a colour comparison:
