I just turned the Fender CS calendar to today's date (November)
and that Strat looks drop dead gorgeous!

How do you decide which one to play? Having these would be a good reason to attempt copying Michael Angelo Batio's two-guitars-at-once style.

My current favorite is this Little Pawn Shop Mod that I just finished.

-Started with the Mustang Special
-Had a customer rosewood pickguard made by www.woodguarden.com (he did a GREAT job - pictures don't do it justice)
-Moved the pickup selector to where the input jack was (just after the tone control)
-Added a Strat style input jack
-Graphite saddles
-Upgraded both the puts and electronics
-And had it setup with 11's rather than the 9's that it came from the factory with.

These mods have brought her VERY close to being my dream guitar

Sorry, just realized that this might be for Strats only, but had seen another non-Strat in there and thought I would share my favorite

Hey aren`t you the guy that had a custom guitar strap made by my friend in Arizona ? His name was Ed Daniels. Those straps are no longer available, just thought you`d like to know.

The first one may leave some folks scratching there heads ..

I'm a true Strat fanatic but my favorite guitar and only humbucker equipped guitar is a US Master Guitar Works Sporster Skinny..

It is made by a builder in Wisconsin..It features a 1.3 inch thick Mahogany Body,Conical maple neck ,6505 type frets,solid metal sustain block instead of string ferrules,graph tech nut,sprezel locking tuners,Kent Armstrong vintage coil taped pickups..It is the most articulate sweet sounding best made guitar i have ever owned and i have loved it since i first put my hands on it ...

After that comes all my strats in no certain order..

My white brothers..The one on the left is a Roadhouse ..The one on the Right is my now massively modded American Standard killer H.S.S MIM Standard that has been tweaked and modded into a phenomenal guitar..Just a couple of the Mods hand sanded neck sanded from 320 grit to 2400 grit with talic applied during sanding..Shielded body.Callaham complete tremolo/bridge assembly,Sprezel locking tuners,John Suhr Vintage LP60's neck,mid Pearly gate in the bridge..Plus many more mods..

This is prior to the mods or part way through i'm not sure..



Next is a 91 standard in aqua marine


Next classic 50's


My neon blue strat..Its so easy to keep time with this guitar


I have a few more Strats but no uploaded pictures but here is one of my man cave featuring the classic 50's my modded MIM and a deluxe player strat along with some other of my toys...

Whether I want humbuckers and maple or singlecoils and rosewood. Simple.
