After 25 years of playing guitar and having owned a few US Strats as well as a really great 1985 Tokai Strat, I've finally pulled the plug:

Oval C neck a little slimmer than my John Mayer Strat, but nice anyway.

Tuners have quite a lot of dead drift though. Surprising, but easily replaced with Tonepros...
Wanted a non-relic, but I've allready done a light aging/tanning of all plastic parts, so here we go again...

What a beauty! Congrats! How did you age the plastic parts yourself?

Cheers

thanks.
I use white vinegar mixed with a teabag and some instant coffe. Leave it out in the sun for a couple of hours. All parts matted with 000 steelwool first.
PG is not so easily tanned, but the other parts do turn dark quite quickly, so I keep an eye on it every 20 min. or so.
