    New guitar (again)!!

    Picked up a Jimmie Vaughn Strat this weekend. Great guitar, really perfect for my style, vintagey, rootsy stuff. Comes with a set of Fender Tex-Mex pickups, highly under-rated units IMO. They're like a more vintage version of Texas Specials, really bright and clear yet they snarl when you dig into it. Uses USA Reissue tuners and bridge, bridge has a steel block. Tone controls are wired to the neck and bridge pickups, middle is wide open. Great notch sounds this way, really strong and clear. The best deal in Fender's lineup right now (if you're looking for a vintage-style Strat)

    Aged white accessory kit is on the way for pickup covers and knobs. The only mod I'm considering is the 50s wiring scheme. It's perfect in every other way as is!! A first for me

      The neck is fantastic! It's nice and chunky, like I like them. Starts as a soft-V then transforms into a nice chunky C around the fifth fret. Never had a neck like this, but it's fast becoming my favorite.

        Thats beautiful!

        The pups sure do look like they're set awful low, though.

          Yup, and they sound incredible that way. Very chimey and articulate. Got the idea from the FDP, everyone there raves about Texas Special when you set them low. Thought I'd do it for the Tex-Mex too, just right! Sounds like a vintage Strat til you dig in, then it cuts loose with the sweetest growl you ever heard

              I was thinking of changing the pickguard when I was researching these guitars. But, the more I see it, the more the single-ply grows on me. It's got a really neat 50's vibe. I might scuff it a little to take the gloss down.
