Got sick of those PAF Pros (nice harmonics but bass just a tad too loose and not quite enough bite) so I slapped a JB/Jazz set in there and changed the knobs. Whaddya think? I like it a lot more... kinda makes the red look a little darker.

just a notion, but a black pearloid pickguard would look nice wrapped around those hummers....

Re: Gave my Strat a makeover!!

an APH2 would sound a lot warmer than the Jazz- but i love the colors!
 
Re: Gave my Strat a makeover!!

I like the new version considerably more than the old. Good pickup choice too!

The guitar came stock with an HH-floyd setup so the pickguard is original.

Thanks... but black pearloid and red is actually one of my LEAST favorite combos! :laugh2:

How do you like the sound of the pickups? It's a nice looking axe.

Ohhhh man they're NICE. Just the right kind of bass response (tight enough but not dolphins-butt tight) nice clear mids and crisp, syrupy highs.



Thanx for the compliments, everyone!

wow what strat is this with a floyd rose and PAF pros stock? :|

The Floyd was stock but the PAF Pros were not... they were originally Fender DH-1s. I bought the guitar off ebay about 3 years ago for $675 w/ case.

It's part of the Fender Floyd Rose Classic Series. Basically American Strats with a Floyd and an HSS or HH setup.

Very good. Looks waaaaaaaaaay better now... so.. if you don't like it anymore...you can have my adress so you can get rid of it ;)
 
Re: Gave my Strat a makeover!!

Awesome job, man. The pups and knobs set off the white perfectly. I don't know if you could find a nicer strat.

I'm always looking and I can't find one of the same type that compares to this one. It's got some mojo in it! Considering I bought it over ebay (with detailed pics) the fact that I got a real nice one was pure luck. It could have just as easily been a dud.
