I just finished putting the 59's in my strat! Man, it sounds killer. I had to do some major wood work but it's definitely worth it. Notice that I took the tone controls out. I prefer going straight to the amp! And I put a Gibson type 3-way switch in it. Much better quality. I was skeptical about the red pick guard, but that's all I could find besides black. But I think it looks great!
Here are some links to before and after.

That looks great . . . worthy of a better pic. :)

The "before" pic wasn't too shabby either. I have a pair of 59's in my Predator too. (Strat-ish style.) Its a great combo. Enjoy.
 
Re: I finished the Strat!!

The more I play it, the more amazed I am at the tones! I'll try to get a better pic tomorrow outside. And thanks, Dude.
 
Re: I finished the Strat!!

I'll be an a$$. I like the before more. But I don't like strats really, not Fenders anyway. So take that with a grain of salt. hope you enjoy tho, thats all that counts.

God, this thing sounds good!!!! Clean wonderful. Super high gain, orgasmic!! It really sounds that good!!!!
 
Re: I finished the Strat!!

Well that's just great. It's always nice to love something you've just finished. Any clips?
 
Re: I finished the Strat!!

I hear you about being impatient. When I got my Predator I figured I'd take 4 or 5 months to finish it. Do it up really nice. I finished in just under a month, and that's because it took the pickguard an extra week to come in!

I like yours. I think it's a definite improvement over original. I'm glad it sounds good, too. That's the main thing.
