Nice guitar!
But how do you post a NGD on a pickup forum and not mention what pickups?

love the tortoise guard, look awesome! I find that these LTD strat types provide great value for the money, what's with the numbers below the 22nd fret though?

Thank you so much guys.
My bad It's pearly gates neck version. Other pickups are stock singles of LTD. They are true singles and not bad but i'll swap them sometime. Moreover it has weird reading i see on my multimeter. PG reads around 7K (6,86K) which can be considered normal, middle reads 5,90K and neck reads only 3,90K. I've just changed the battery of multimeter and reading are same. Neck pickup sounds very clear yet thin on the other hand.
I've bought it for $250 (without pearly gates and pickguard) and for that price thats the best strat around in Turkiye
Indeed. I hate heavy ash but as long as its lightweight thats my favourite body wood.
Thank you so much guys.

Thank you so much guys
Well, the guy i've bought from was a luthier so slight modification wasnt an issue. I sent humbucker and pickguard, requested to replace it for me. So i'm not perfectly sure but as far as i know tortoise guard was not suitable for direct replacement. The guard was, you know, i'd bought on ebay for $7 but looks amazing.

Nice! I'm not normally a fan of tortoise, but that looks great with the natural ash!

Me too
Indeed it seems killer
Factory routing was SSS so the previous owner drilled a humbucker routing on the bridge.
