The Fender Stratocaster Club

Re: The Fender Stratocaster Club

i alreaedy thought to put a black pickguard, but here in europe is so hard to find one for a lefthanded guitar!!!!!

www.rockinger.com, search for item 1520S. 1520s is a black singleply leftie guard for a 3 SC strat. They´re in Germany and they ship internationally ;)

OR if wou want a multi-ply and it´s not something that has to be done too fast, I can probably find the time to make you one. For a price, of course ;)

Wow, I really dig that strat. Nice axe, man!
 
Re: The Fender Stratocaster Club

I like the fact that you can use a single coil pup in the neck, and a humbucker in the bridge of a Stratocaster.

Here's an updated picture of my silver pearl Dust US Strat. Theodie sent me an HS pickguard, so I installed a Custom/59 A5 hybrid (best strat humbucker) and a Chubtone 63 bridge in the neck. 1 Vol, and a 3 way switch only. VH to SRV at the flick of a switch!

MUAHAHAHA

The red now has FullShred with Alnico8/CoolRails/Alnico pro 2 singe. It's wired with a 5 way as normal, a split for the FS and volumes for the bridge and neck pickup only.
The blue (model 4) has a Distortion in the bridge and stock mid and neck. It's wired weirdly but cool as hell. The 3 way for the bridge pickup is on/off/on with bypass pickups and volume pot. The 2 other pups are just on off. And there's just a single volume pot.
 
Re: The Fender Stratocaster Club

I can't take any pics of my strats right now, but here are some pics of a strat that's exactly like the one I own (except mine has a rosewood fingerboard). It's a Custom Classic in Black Holoflake (pretty rare finish) with Texas Specials. My other strat is a 90's American Standard in ash with a high gloss natural finish and one of the nicest necks on the planet. I just put some Fender Custom Shop 69' pups in it and now I'm in love.

The Custom/59 A5 hybrid is actually one that Back to Rock made, sold to BungalowBill, then sold to me. I wanted a vintage single that was strong enough to balance decently with it, so I found a Chubtone 63 bridge...about 7.2K.

The guard was a gift from Theodie.....so now I can't bag on him with gay jokes!
:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2: I think he ordered it in HS from Warmoth with no holes drilled, so I drilled them where I wanted them. I have no cap on the volume pot, so I can darken it by rolling it back, taking the place of a tone knob.

Since pearl dust is the rarest Fender color, I had to specifically seek out Strat Plusses from the 90's with those colors. All the rest of the blue and silver guitars are taken from new American Series strats. To get those colors, I had to buy 2 Strat Plusses and 2 newish American Strats, then combine the best parts, and sell off the new bodies with the Strat Plus necks. I don't like metal nuts, and that's why I did that.

Very Cool. I have a Black American Series Strat with the same pickup setup, single coil neck/humbucker bridge. I am using a CC in the bridge and a Duncan Surfer bridge pup in the neck thats works well with the CC output wise. The pickguard company that I got mine from is now out of business, so I will check out these other companys that can make this pickguard like the Fender Strat American 11 hole pickguards.
