Are the pick-ups stock? If so, do you plan on swapping them out? With that solid color paint job you probably have a Alder wood body, giving you a nice warm tone.

With the light coloured body and rosewood neck she really looks impressive.A lot of people have a knee jerk reaction to change out the pups in MIM Strats but give the guitar time-I find that MIM pups are every bit as good as their American counterparts with a bit of volume and EQ tweaking.I doubt very much that many would pass the blindfold test in a comparison.

+1...I left the stock pick ups in my MIM 04 Golden Anniversary Strat, they sound just fine, has a nice thick middle and plenty of quack!
