Hi all, I'm putting this beautiful Strat up for sale as I bought a new guitar recently. On first sight, it looks somewhat like Hank Marvin's Strat..
Let me explain the mods I did to it. I changed the stock bridge to a Wilkinson pop in tremolo bridge that has a much thicker block than the stock. Stock pots changed to Japanese pots (if I'm not wrong. I changed them last year.) but these pots are definitely smoother than the stock pots. Orange drop capacitor added. Ernie Ball 5 way switch replaces the stock switch. Blender function added to the 2nd tone control, which means u can get a neck/bridge combo sound and all 3 pickups combo sound too. The pickguard was changed to an old pickguard that I had lying around which is partially faded, giving it a relic look. The pickups are stock. Tuners are a bit corroded (no longer shiny) but they do the job well holding the strings in tune. Neck plate is a bit corroded too (no longer shiny).
Back of the neck is gloss finish. Alder body with a beautiful maple fretboard. No scratches or dents. Had it since last year. Bought from Ebay USA. Input jack is a bit loose, need to tighten the jack at times but it still works fine. I'm looking to sell this for $450(neg but offer me a reasonable price). Good price given the mods that I applied to it. Gig bag included. If you love the old school 50s Strat tone for Shadows/Ventures stuff, then this is perfect. Can even do a good Clapton blues tone.
If keen, pls email me at faizal_rocks@yahoo.com Pics are below!
Strictly no trades.
