Members brianeharmonjr Posted December 15, 2012 Members Share Posted December 15, 2012 This is a Fender MIM Classic Series 50's Stratocaster in Daphne Blue with an SKB rectangular Hard Case. The guitar has been modified with a custom cut pickguard from Warmoth (cut by me), and a set of TV Jones TV Classic Filtertrons, master volume and tone with Gretsch knobs, and a 3-way switch. The neck and bridge pickup cavities were routed by me, originally with the intent of installing a Fender Wide Range Humbucker in the bridge and a regular humbucker-sized pickup in the neck, but ended up going with the TV Jones pickups. It's a fantastic guitar that sounds and plays fantastically and the only flaw is that the strings are a bit closer to the treble side of the board than the bass side. A fantastic guitar, but I need the cash. Only trades I'd really consider would be towards a Hamer Mirage or a Guild Starfire III. $515 Shipped and Paypal'd east of the Mississippi (add $20 for west of the Mississippi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean are the strings touching the pole pieces? No, they certainly aren't. About 1/8" from top of the pole pieces to the bottom of the strings and room to go down.

From the factory, because of the way the neck is seated, the strings are not perfectly centered on the neck. So, the low E string isn't as close to the bass side of the fretboard as the high e string is to the treble side of the fretboard. It's certainly not a big deal, but I just want to make sure I make not of any imperfection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
