So, I picked this guitar up a couple months ago when I moved my Les Paul traditional. It was a personal choice and I was pleased with the deal I made - I had enough cash left over to do a couple of upgrades.

First, I replaced the pickguard which was well scarred. I kept the extra toggle switch. I replaced the trem block with a Callaham and a shorty Callaham arm because the original trem block was not drilled properly (nothing lined up, even after disassembly/reassembly.

Completely tore it down and buffed out the body. I'm also in the process of putting together a partscaster, mostly of Fender parts.

Anyway, this is it. 10 for 15 Blackout Strat. Fat 50's pickups, ebony fretboard, etc.

I love the color but I prefer rosewood. I like the texture of rosewood and I feel as though ebony is a bit brighter.
