Care to elaborate/ enlighten us on said shortcomings?? I think it's pretty accurate minus some Stewmac parts and I believe Kurt's had a shim, but otherwise seems damn close and the price is actually damn good considering what it is...

Neck pickup is a little further from the neck, the logo is a little off, the bridge isn't as angled, and the sunburst is a little off, and the neck is a different radius to fit the adjusto-matic bridge. It is very close, but still has some differences collectors are picky about.

same here I was ready and willing to gather the cash for it but I'm not about to drop that much money for something which isn't an american made guitar (for 200 bucks more you can get a deluxe stratocaster USA)

The "kurtiest" thing you guys could do is get the cheapest wornest sunburst jag you can find and then try to make the mods yourselves. No luthiers, ur selves. You'll end up with something Kurt would be proud 
even more than buying his ultra expensive mock made by Fender.

The higher price is MSRP. Stores often sell well below that. If you check out the MSRPs on the other guitars on Fender's website, you usually get it for several hundred less in guitar shops.fender price is a lie i just ordered mine today for 1250$
this is the price store give it so it is not 1850$
for 600$ i see i big difference
That price was from the article. Guitar shops pay dealer cost so the $1850 is what Fender suggests they ask for it. They can choose to go that high or drop it a little to encourage sale.
