This one was a little tight but went right into my shape with the custom cedar block Art made for me. Once you find that someone has your same circumference (or close) then you know if it fits them it will fit you. It's not quite the same as the wonderful process of having a custom hat made specifically for you, but when I get a chance to pick up a pure beaver hat for under $200 I just can't pass that up. I'm not done ordering customs but I also keep my eyes open for used ones.How's the fit Mike? I've always wondered about that, with Art's hats bought second-hand. That hat sure looks great. I now know where to go when I grow weary of trying to find a vintage Strat!
