I hit up my goldmine pawnshop while on the hunt again for my next strat, and I found a gem. Ever since I picked up my '96 MIM LPB Standard a few weeks ago, I've been on the hunt for another great MIM strat. Well, I didn't expect to run into this one, but after playing it I knew I had to take it home. Since I'd already spent quite a bit of money at this pawnshop the last to months, I was able to score this guitar at a price I could not turn down. I've already set the intonation and adjusted the neck and saddles. The neck feels great and the action make it play effortlessly. The stock pickups aren't Fender Custom Shop quality,but they are really not bad and I can coax quite a few respectable tones out of this baby. Does anyone else around here own one of these? If so, did you leave it stock or did you mod it with better pickups,bridges,etc....? Here some pics.

I kinda like that. Definitely not a common color.

I find MIM Strats a bit mediocre- especially the Standards, but this guitar has blown my mind :shock:

Looks like one of those LE guitars sent to George Barris for its custom paint job.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
