Well a while back I had a 2000 MIM Strat that I had done some work to and eventually decided that I wanted to get something different. So I traded it to a pawn shop in exchange for another guitar. Then I got bit by the guitar bug really bad and bought a few more, but I always missed that strat I had traded in. I spoke with the guys at the shop and they told me their guitar tech had snagged it before it even had a chance to go on the rack, mainly due to the new paint job I had done on it. A few months go by and I called the shop to see if they had any new items in their store and the owner said, yeah we have this one with a racing stripe on it. I thought "Could it be?!" So I went back to the store and sure enough it was the one that got away So I quickly grabbed it and brought her back home where she belongs

Here she is, a little modded differently than when I dropped her off originally but I kinda like the new setup. I might keep the loaded pickguard and put her back to singles, but I'm not 100% sure yet.



And with the other Fenders

That's a cool looking strat!

If it were mine, I would leave it as is seeing as how you have two other strats with the traditional set up.

I like the new look, I would play it a while and see if you like it, if not you can always change it back the way it was. BTW I really like the racing stripe very tastefully done and not something you see every day.

Congrats on getting her back. Cool stripes, that thing must be a rock machine with those humbuckers.

Thank you very much I played around with it last night and I actually really like the setup that it has. The person who had it interm, put a toggle coil tap on the neck pickup and from what I can tell the bridge is a Seymour Duncan Screamin Demon and it really does scream

I was really pleased with how the paint job came out, the stripe goes all the way around the body too. I stole the idea from John Mayer's shoreline gold strat that has the stripe along the bottom.

In this case, Tom Wolfe was wrong. You can go home. Great looking axe......... Mike
