Hi Dave,

Congrats on your new purchase. I have had mine three weeks, you'll love it.

As a side issue, could I ask a favour? Could I please ask you to measure the pickup heights as supplied please. The usual routine: last fret held down and measured from top of pole piece to underside of 1st & 6th string on all three pickups (in 64th's if possible). I'm attempting to try and compile some information.

Regards
Roger

Congrats on your first Strat as it is a looker and here's to many more. Just do yourself a favor and remove the sticker lol! If you have any trouble just rub a little Naptha (lighter fluid) over it with a rag and it will come right off. Dont freak it will not harm the guitar in anyway.lol

Thanks all for the kind words. I have removed the sticker and the plastic coating.

Now that i have showed you my new baby could you all post some pics of your fave guitar you own or have owned?

I like to here about how people came to own the fav guitars.

If you are anything like me you have a great love for your gear and are always looking to find more.

So please if you could post a few pics.

Dave

Hey Roger,

I don't have a measuring tape that goes in 64th's as you asked for and I had the strings lowered when i bought it so it isn't at factory spec. But Its 1/4th of an inch on the low e and 1/8th on the high e to the neck pickup. between 1/8th an1/4th low e 1\8th high e middle pickup. 1/4th low e 1/8th high e bridge. that as good as i can see it with the measuring tape i got. hope that helps.

Dave

Hello Dave,

Thanks for getting back to me. Shame the measurements are not "as supplied", but thank you for taking the trouble. No matter they are still useful to me. Enjoy Your new baby, you'll love it.

Thanks again.

Roger

For me, They're the best sounding pickups I've every played with. I like the individual sounds of the neck, middle, and bridge pickup. Although each one has a different sound I like them all equally. They very much suit the music that I play (clean sounds). Maybe other people's opinions would vary if they played with overdrive/distorsion etc.

Cheers
Roger

Congratulations on that beautiful Strat! I love Strats. I have three myself and in the future, I know I will add to the collection. They are addicting. Enjoy!

Like the color. How's that maple neck feel?
