Expensive but cheap feeling fenders

I stopped by guitar center yesterday to look for some locking tuners for my AP2 Strat (which they didn’t have) I looked through some of the guitars. Just wanted to check out the quality of my American Pro versus some of the others. But I came across a couple custom shop guitars and a jazz master couple others all over $2000 guitars. I couldn’t believe how cheap some of the components felt. Especially the jazz master holy crap that thing was janky. The custom shop finishes on the body. The relic just looks like shit in my opinion. They look cool, but the quality of the paint looks like it would just come off so easily. Anyway, I don’t know if there is a point to this post other than I just can’t believe how cheap some of these expensive guitars feel. I will say all the American pro 2 Stratocaster‘s were very nice and I’m glad I got mine.
