1986 Fender Strat - made in Japan. This thing has been gigged to a nub, and it smells like a thousand bars. The string were black, the frets were green and there is not much left of them. The whole thing was filthy. I think the factory color was white.
Did a complete fret level, polished the whole axe, and set it up from scratch with 10's. Shimmed the blocked whammy a little tighter per clients request. Once I had the action where I liked it - with almost no rattle on the wound strings - I plugged into the Marshall. The mojo nearly knocked me down! With both single coils on the chime is bright and sparkling. The Duncan Hot Rails is 3 times as loud, and 3 times as ballsy. This beastie is incredible. You could lay down blues or rock with ease on this, it sounds and plays so good. My client will be thrilled, I'm sure. But today - it's mine.
