Yep, it's my only H-S-S Strat. The middle pickup will be swapped at the weekend for a Japanese '57 reissue alnico in place of the stock ceramic Squier which isn't very inspiring..........

Sorry, I meant "Stock" single coils :P

No BKP's? Or is it the offspring of buying far to many guitars/ parts and finding something to do with them? :lol:

The humbucker is a Black Dog.

Yeah.... and it's not a single coil :P

Cheers!

I think I'm going to try and give it a cigarette burn on the headstock tonight a la Clapton et al. I've already dulled the scratchplate and body finish by scouring the whole thing with a maky old brillo pad(!) - worked like a charm!

Chill Martin dude :)

I haven't smoked them - just lit them and let them burn. Got the idea when I foud half a pack lying around on our work car park. It's all part of the DIY relic-ing...

martinw · « **Reply #54 on:** May 22, 2008, 06:32:39 PM »

But it would make you look like a smoker...ok I suppose if you're dumbing down. :lol:

Twinfan · « **Reply #55 on:** May 22, 2008, 06:37:27 PM »

Or the previous owner was a smoker. I only bought it recently remember. I couldn't have got enough gigs on it at my age to make it so well used ;)

:lol:
