This Strat is a mate's but he wasn't too keen on it but a luthier who -incidentally is building my custom Strat - has done a fantastic job. Don't you think??

Looks fab!
Big Strat headstocks RULE!!!
-
What type of finish is it? (poly/nitro etc)
-
It needs white pickups, switchtips etc like the dave gilmour one...I was considering getting mine done like that but i think it's out of my price range

You keep the pickups; just the covers get swapped. You can switch all the covers and the switch tip for $20.

Yeah, i know that...that's what i meant - but he can get BK's (if it doesn't already have them)
Oh you meant about my comment about too expensive - i meant getting it sprayed back, not buying the hardware :P

I initially thought "what? that looks awesome!", but that Strat looks damned slinky in black, it goes great with the colour of the neck too. How old's that thinline by the way? It's a tasty looking fiddle too. 8)

Looks like a '79 25th Anniversary Strat to me...

Hmmm ... the body, maybe. There's no bullet truss rod, tho -- and no pics of the back to show if it's a 3 bolter.

Looks nice but I'd rather have the thinline!

I would say its a 4 bolt, just a guess though.

Well, I just got a total education from PhilKing about that guitar, lol
It is a 4 bolter with a rosewood trussrod plug. (Original Strats use a walnut plug) Radius and profile are PROBABLY 70s, and it is indeed a 70s anniversary model.

Nice. 8)

nice strat (shame bout the headstock :D)
btw does ne1 know if BK do those thinline style HBs (with the 3 and 3 screws)?????/
-

I promised myself no more guitars, but i gotta get me one of those tele thinlines...
-
This is one of the coolest strats I've ever seen (found it on HC)-

I love that thinline tele aswell!
-
almost had a heart attack then....
I've got an idea for a pickup combo and when i saw the P-90 i had to look twice to make sure I hadnt been beaten to it.
If anyone remembers my pink fluffy strat. Its now got a neck but is still a long ways off being done.
Luv that thin line.... almost more than a tele custom.

Well they could rewind a set for you, the thing is they're hard to get hold of. Fender have a "reissue" but it's not the same as the original, apparently it's the size of a normal bucker under the cover. Originals wouldn't be cheap, I've seen some open coil widerange buckers produced by another company somewhere but I forgot by who, and at any rate I wouldn't feel ok promoting them here of all places.

Not white, but a different color. Hot pink maybe... or green or blue ;)
