I didnt notice it at first either untill i took off pickguard and changed it to sss for her. Later I gave the original pickguard to a friend and he brought it back and showed me it was different and didnt work on his 06.
Thats when I started noticing it on other 90s strats compared to current series 2000 up ones.

I first started seeing the centered middle pickup on the Strat Ultras in 1990. Again, these bodies have the universal route (swimming pool), so this could be done. One could never pop these guards into a Strat with vintage routes even if they had a humbucker cut in the body. Would be interesting to see the route on a Sambora strat. The 1990s Lonestar has the same route as the 1990's American Standard and Plus models (Swimming pool). I really prefer this cut as it equals out, not only the placement, but the tone between the pickups. (not to mention just looking better! 8) )

I have been trying to get Warmoth to cut these but they will not do it. I talked with the maniger, offered an Ultra Custom Shop pickguard to use as a template, but they have choose to just ignore the request. The only place I know that will cut these is Chandler.

Thanks for showing the route. That was interesting. Some similarities to the Clapton Strats.

Your welcome
i found that earlier on ebay I was suprised that it had on board boost.
Guy is asking 5 grand for it.
Looks like he dropped price to 3500 to much for me but really cool strat.
