My friend ask me if I wanted to check out the strat. Deluxe Players Strat. It was not used for a while. I called him and ask him if he would mind if I set it up.

The jack was loose,all the pots were loose, a few fret issues,it need to be set up. He said do you like the guitar. If so you can have it. He did not like the VN pickups and said if was going to use it he would have to gut it.

So I set it up and played it for a while. I like the guitar. Nice ash body. The clean sound seems a little different from a traditional strat pickups. But when I turned my amp up all the way and got some amp distortion I liked the tones. I tried it with my fuzz box. 8)

I gave him some pedals last year,but never expected anything in return. I am very grateful.

Thanks guys. I got it all set up and its a really nice strat. Ive had a bunch of Strats over the past 35 years. It plays nice,rings well unplugged.

Its just as good or better than some of the MIA Fenders ive had. Not all of them but who cares. I really like it.

Maybe down the road I will put a white pickguard on to see what it would look like. Wives idea. She never says anything,its pretty cool that she showed an interest. She used to play.

Nice one BP. They look good in the clear red. I used a neck and body from one of these in my custom build. Vintage US spec bridge, nice neck and a quality piece of wood. You can't go wrong. Enjoy.
