It plays pretty damn sweet. Probably has the lowest action out of all my guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MesaMonster Posted March 16, 2014 Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 I would have gone with a plain pickguard. I think the perloid pickguard detracts from the great orange finish. Great guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GilmourD Posted March 16, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 Happy Anniversary on the orange Strat, Gilmour philthumb BTW, how do you like the VEH humbucker in the bridge? I have a covered one in the bridge of my Epi Les Paul and I love it there. I this it's a tad bright and not as chewy. I'm thinking of swapping an AlNiCo 2 into it to replace the stock AlNiCo 5.
