ULTIMATE FORUM GUITAR: Fender Stratocasters - Prelims

Aceman

I am your doctor of love!
B]READ THE CRITERIA BEFORE YOU POST!
[/B]
This is for the Forums BEST Fender Strat. Criteria for a Strat include:
- MIM, Highway One, American, etc...that family of Strat
- Limited Modifications: Must be ORIGINAL COLOR, Minor hardware changes: Bridge/tuners, knobs.
- Any pickup configuration


We will hold an open mod contest for whatever you hacked up and repainted later, super strats, G&L's, Etc.

Basically, except for perhaps a pup change and/or bridge/tuners, it had better be a bone stock Strat.

I will select up to 10 of the best and then we will vote by poll. So, this is the Qualifying HEat, if you will. If you have a junky @$$ CBS wore out standard, think twice about posting a pic. (unless it has so much mojo it can't lose...)

So, Let's Go! Post your most awesome Strat! Please add a few words at the bottom of the pic to tell us about this candidate for most awesome LP (year, bought for/because, pickups if changed, tone, list of limited mods...

wahwah's does not qualify for this round...I don't think...
 
Re: ULTIMATE FORUM GUITAR: Fender Stratocasters - Prelims

His isn't stock....he's removed most of the paint:lmao:
 
Re: ULTIMATE FORUM GUITAR: Fender Stratocasters - Prelims

oh - that one....Yeah, that counts.

At this point anything short of a Squire will get scoreboard. More pics less talk!
 
Re: ULTIMATE FORUM GUITAR: Fender Stratocasters - Prelims

Sorry, Wahwas's is the obvious choice.

That said, my 2000 MiM (once Std) Fender Strat is stock neck (for now) stock body, stock color, non-stock pickguard (and everything mounted on it) non-stock bridge, non-stock tuners.

Does that count?
(Cause it's in one of my all-time favorite colors, Midnight Blue):

(please forgive the crappy pic but it is a very close representation of the actual color tone so it was a keeper in that sense :9:)
 
Re: ULTIMATE FORUM GUITAR: Fender Stratocasters - Prelims

Do you realize how many Stratocasters I own and how many are modified?
 
Re: ULTIMATE FORUM GUITAR: Fender Stratocasters - Prelims

but I'm not everyone. That would preclude the possibility of me being anyone. Logic 101.

You're a subset of everyone. We're still missing the part about why your partscaster is special.
 
Re: ULTIMATE FORUM GUITAR: Fender Stratocasters - Prelims

Honestly, if any Strat qualifies, it would be this one. I concur with Diego et al.

Arisa, my bone-stock 2011 Am. Std. I'd at least like to throw it in the running, and maybe get "honorable mention".

Why is it better than any normal am std? 2 piece ash body in sienna sunburst.
I haven't taken any shots since I got her cleaned and set up, but I plan to. In the mean time, here's her gorgeous body.

Yep, like I said, my Strat is in ONE of my All-time favorite colors.
Well, Sienna Sunburst is the other :D

Oh, what the heck. At least mine sits proudly in front of a Strat approved tone machine.
Note Gilmour approved shortened wiggle stick and stock Duncan pups.
