This was my baby for many years. I played out with it occasionally, played at home often, and took great care of it. It's basic tone is phenomenal, and the body has tremendous resonance all by itself. I bought it around 2000, and played every Strat in the store before picking this one out. The color is awesome, it's called Shorel ine Gold, and is a very tasteful shade in between silver and gold, understated but with character. Mother of toilet seat pickguard. Three MAJOR upgrades to this instrument:1. Kinman Hx PickupsOriginal fender issue texas special pickups have been replaced with Kinman Hx silent single coils. If you are not familiar with these, they are amazing true single coil pickups that are hum free. They're not stacked hum buckers like cheaper "silent singles," they use a much more involved and costly process to remove the hum from the signal chain yet retain all the great qualities about single coil pickups. The cavity has also been shielded with copper tape, a very lengthy process. Bottom line, the pickups deliver "that" tone without any of the noise!2. L.R. Baggs X-BridgeThis is the secret weapon in this guitar. What looks and behaves like a standard tremolo-bridge has the fantastic LR Baggs X-Bridge installed which acts as a piezo pickup. It has an onboard preamp to balance o ut the signal, and the electric and acoustic signals can either be bl ended, toggled between or sent to two separate outputs via a stereo input jack. On the controls you can see the recessed pushbutton that either splits or mixes the signals, and the 3-way toggle switch that chooses electric, acoustic or both. You read that right. You can have a killer, silent electric guitar signal come out the tip, an acoustic guitar sound come out the ring, process the signals separately, then toggle between them right on the guitar. It's a super versatile and cool addition that makes you this guitar a powerhouse.3. Bridge Pickup on Push/Pull PotA simple upgrade but equally versatile, I had a push/pull pot installed on the bottom tone knob to activate the bridge pickup in any position, so that you can get those tele-like neck and bridge tones, as well as all three pickups together which is a surprisingly great sound that I used all the time. This allows for every possible pickup combination on your start. Excited yet? The neck is all maple wit h the skunk stripe, fast and thin (but not *too* thin) and really lets this guitar smoke. The tone is bright and true to a strat but with a woody and characterful sound that is just what you hope for from a strat. Moderate fret wear from years of love, but nothing is fretting out and it still has years of play in it before a fret level would be needed. Other than that, not much to say. The usual nicks and scratches here and there, but no major problems and in great ... Click for more info
