I've looked around some more and I really want the guitar I buy to be made in USA. Nothing against anything Mexican made or wherever made... just feel better about it these days I guess. I like the custom model but I don't know if the metal nut is a big deal or not and some of the other small differences on the custom over the standard. I also don't know if I would want either model with 1 humbucker. Noiseless pickups aren't that expensive if I ever want to put those on a standard. I like maple necks better too for some reason. Your thoughts? I really would appreciate any input since I'm heading out to buy this weekend. Thanks.
