Now I have my Edwards LP I decided I needed a 'proper' strat, so I am converting my Tokai Super Edition from a humbucker to single coil..and thanks to you guys and a confirmation from Tim, I am also getting an Apache bridge with baseplate. I'm really looking forward to it -  since my first Strat copy way back I've never had a single coil in the bridge despite being massive Blackmore/Beck fan... so gonna have fun with a new tonal palette :)

Well, can't really call that impulse, if you research a bit in this forum you will find me posting and going on about getting an apache set back in March last year.

So this is a well reflected, thought through acquisition, just this post was the tipping point  

And besides that, it's what wisdom of a long and experienced live will teach you: Everyone needs a Strat with Apaches 8)

The "Everyone needs a Strat with Apaches" statement is so true and I would only add "Everyone needs a Tele with Country Boys".

Yeah I know that feeling, first get some BKPs and then go and find the matching guitar to go with 'em ...

Ted, you reached the rare state of "Extreme BKPing"

My Strat is for sale in seconds out - it has been loaded with both a set of Irish Tours and Apaches, and inmho Apaches were sweeter, better all round versatile pickups. The Irish Tours rocked it out as well mind.

The guitar is for sale with the stock pups back in as this enables the new owner to customise at will if desired. Am open to offers for regular BKP fans
