Just bought this beat up, but beautiful Strat (with a Fender hard case too). The price was too good to pass up.

It plays really nice-I was not able to get a video up of it. Look for one tomorrow. It has a Duncan Designed Invader Type pickup, which has got to go 😊That's probably the last pickup I would choose for this guitar.

I'm thinking about this one again:

Here is what usually happens to my strats:

  • Change Pickups if need be-sometimes stock pickups just work
  • Treble roll off on the volume pot-so I don't loose treble when I roll back the volume
  • Coil Tap-if I have a rear humbucker
  • Strap locks- you don't wanna find out the hard way why you need these 😊
  • Locking Tuners- "if" I'm going to gig with it
  • Copper Sheilding on pick guard and inside cavity

This guitar already feels good to play, so it's not really that far off.

If any of you have a favorite Strat pickup, please leave me a comment. I'm always open to try new stuff. Thanks everyone! ✌🏾
