so i was wandering around one of the local guitar shops, while the other guitarist in my band was talking with the rental department about what we need to record over the new years long weekend.
and i was left alone for far to long
and well. for the second time in my life i played a stratocaster
sure its a squier bullet strat
but they only had red..
meh
so i asked the dude at the counter what else they had in stock.
they had them all aside from shell pink.
so i immediately asked to see the Daphne Blue ..
you know this one:


it had a small blemish on the fret board, second fret in on the high E
so i got tax free and a set of 11's w/ wound 3rd
and wandered with KP back to the bat cave (where he does all the mixes for our stuff)
pulled it apart, clipped out the middle pickup. tossed on the11's gave it a setup, had to adjust the D and high E for intonation
tossed the second tone knob under the pickguard.
and now i'm stoked.

only have one cell phone pic at the moment, as after mixing the new 7" we went to jam, and i left it at the jam space


sounds fucking gnarly
and i like the feedback i pull off the cheap pickups.
gonna see if my spare twang king will fit in the bridge though.

i already texted this info to Ends...

one of these makes the guitar miles better

mainly the bigger bridge block is what does it.

yeah that is in the plan for it. esp once i opt to put 13's on it.
i also need to put 2 more springs on the trem block

You took away one of the greatest features of a strat.

the second tone knob?

middle pickup i'm guessing. Neck and Middle is one of my favourite sounds on a strat but keep in mind they originally had a 3-pos switch

<3 strat bridge pup

i also love the the middle pickup in the bridge position o_0

MY WHITE ONE IS STILL ON THE FUCKING WALL. CHRIST I STILL HAVEN'T WIRED IT UP YET. CHRISTMAS SEASON SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS MY LIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFEEEEEEEEE

send me that mint guard back pls X-D

how much do those things go for in canada? i think mf sells them for about 350.00

i picked it up for $120 cad

essentially my drinking money for this weekend.

you got yourself one heck of a DEAL!

now i just need a robert(og) duo-caster pickguard for it.

unless i find a place with blank backguards again.

aenz just set my ass straight!
for some dumbass reason i thought it was a classic vibe strat, and not a bullet.
i think that someone online found a place that does duo guards with 3 pot holes and a 5 way switch area.
or i may just be talking out my ass.

i just want two pot holes, and a spot for a 3 way toggle.


i wish it was a classic vibe.

Awesome find Serfx.

Hows the neck on it?

thanks man

its a pretty chunky neck .. at least for me.
no sharp fret ends, no buzz anywhere, there is a little bit of a sharp spot on the G string on the bridge, at least i hop that would explain why i've broken 4 G strings since wednesday.

ICY BOMB

its doing okay for being 3 weeks old.
