I've got a terrible strat copy that I've decided must live on, so I'm installing a Fender Enforcer Humbucker and taking out everything else (save for a volume knob).
Here's pictures of the guitar now. The strings are off 'cause I had to check the insides.







Once it's done (could be a couple weeks, as I still need to buy a custom pickguard and y'know, pay for it) I'll post new pics.


Here's the final product! I give you the ROK AXE DX!

hahaha what a name.ROK AXE.

That will HAVE to come off the headstock.

The headstock shape looks like a birth defect. I like the name enforcer.

Thalidomide headstock RAWKYEEEAH!


Ok that was in poor taste, sorry.

If I had a cheapy black strat to mod I'd go the DOOGCASTER #2 route.



Obviously you're lacking the maple neck.

Aren't you my bass player? What are you doing modding a plywood guitar? FAIL.

What my Strat will look like soon except with sexy split coils.

Strat Deluxes > Any Other Strat.

That is a cool idea, but I'm running on limited funds and am going for a simple set up.

well if you just wanted to do the one pickup thing you could always get one of these



$13 at Guitar Fetish. That's a pretty cheap option and it'll looks clean as hell.

Dude, that's a great idea. I was gonna get a custom 'guard from Warmoth, but this is a great cheap alternative. Thanks.

This has given me an idea. I might mod my first ever electric guitar - A trans green Tanglewood Strat copy. It looks pretty cool, but plays horribly.
