Howdy all...

I got to finishing up my latest project last evening and the wiring spilled into this morning. I got up early and hit the shop before I have to go to work and so she's done! Well, not entirely done (the "neck on" toggle is not functioning but I can sort that out when I eventually change out the MIM Std pickups... I wanted to love them but it ain't gonna happen. They're OK for now but will probably opt for some Fat 50's down the line.

Anyhow, everything but the neck is a 2011 MIM Standard Strat. The neck dates to 1980 and was already converted to a 4 bolt (and done well :) ) so thats how this little number came together. I had a "blackie" guitar back in the day with a similar set-up; MIM body and a '75 neck and it played terribly. This one is playing like butter! Just need to finish by checking the intonation and it'll be good to go until I get back under the hood one of these days to change the PUPs and mess with the wiring.

Hey I found these they are 70s reissue pickups and they are pretty cool Alnico 5s
