Hi Everyone,

I bought my Strat on eBay back in February for a measly €200 and to Ireland it came. It was an 2000-2001 MIM Deluxe Stratocaster with Seymour Duncan Hot rails pickups and a dull mother of pearl pickguard and beautiful maple neck. See below.....

It turned out that the pickups were designed for a Tele so there was only one tone pot and the five way selector only worked for three. I had this fixed to a strat configuration as well as putting in the missing tone pot. Since then i have bought the correct Fender tone and volume knobs and also had the pickguard changed to a beautiful 3 ply black one.

I love this Strat and will never ever part with it.

So, what do you guys think of it?

Looks really good! I've been wanting another one, and actually looked at the players deluxe for a general use guitar that I could play hard with.

Appears that you have a future rocker there ;)

From your writing style, I would have thought you were much older...

:shock:

Great looking guitar. Enjoy!
