I saw a few demos of the Fender Road Worn Players HSS guitars and really wanted to try one out, however there are none in town that I can find.

SO...
I had:
-a MIM strat with a bad paint job that I attempted a while ago. (with the best neck I have ever felt.)
-a black HSS pickguard
-A Duncan Jeff Beck Humbucker

So I bought some Texas Special pickups, and a Squier Classic Vibe 60's Candy Apple Red body. I paid less than $200 for everything

I relic'd the body. (basically just took some of the gloss off.) Relic'd the hardware and the pickguard a bit. The neck was already worn and relic'd.

I put it together and it is a great feeling, sounding and looking guitar.

I'll post some pics if I can get them uploaded correctly.

Seymour Duncan never made a Jeff Beck pickup. The JB stands for Jazz Blues. :wink:
Can't wait to see the guitar.

Huh... I always thought it stood for Jeff Beck. Whatever it is, it rocks! Cantrell, Cobain, and Ty Tabor all use it. Great pickup.

After you figure out how to post pics you need to figure out how to post video (link to YouTube?) so we can hear it! :wink:

Mike, to make things even more confusing. Jeff Beck used that pickup for a while too!

One of the best selling buckers in the world. Who cares what it stands for if you like it.
