A customer told me if this guitar had the Floyd Rose FRX bridge in black on it that he would buy it.
BAM!!!
This bridge is of high quality and it really performs well.
Looks sinister and ties in well with the look of the guitar with the Alumitone Deathbucker's.
Totally Bad ASS!

This is a customer's guitar that I did a pickups and electronics upgrade on.
The original humbucker pickups no longer had life in them.
The customer requested Lace Alumitone pickups for the replacement. This was a challenge due to the fact that the cutouts in the guitar's body were larger and narrower than standard sizes.
The holes were very close in size however to fit humbuckers made for 7 string guitars.
Research showed that the Lace Alumitone 7s were going to work on the guitar.
The frame of the pickups required notching the corners and the rings also needed modification to fit the pickups.
Furthermore the mounting ring holes did not perfectly match up to the original screw holes so new ones had to be drilled.
Pots were upgraded to 250K Bourns Premiums and .022uf Orange Drop capacitors were used for tone.
The guitar sounds fantastic and the Alumitone pickups hollow frame allow for more acoustic sound to come out.

The pickguard and covers and Mighty Mite pick guard have been wrapped in 3M Black Carbon Fiber 1080 Vinyl
It has great looks and provides good scratch resistance
The mounting screws are black or have been custom painted black to match the guitar.
Parts of the tuners, string tree and the jack plate have been painted black as well.
There is only one tiny dent on the headstock that I've shown in one of the pictures on this listing.
The guitar is completely set up with precision
to the Fender specifications and it is ***ready to play***
This guitar is nothing short of what you would expect from an American Standard Stratocaster.
The neck feels silky and it plays like butter.
Intonation is set perfect
The Frets are highly polished and the neck has slight relief in it
They don’t always come set up like this if at all from a dealer
Even simple things like Bees Wax on the screws make a difference
when it comes to having a guitar that is done right.
The incredibly clean sound you get from the hum free Alumitone’s is AMAZING!
The guitar still has the classic Strat sound but on a whole new level
The pickup heights are fine tuned to be where they need to be to achieve their best sound
The Alumitone pickups, copper shielded body, and professionally wired controls
provide night and day relief from the humming and buzz you get from the average guitar
The Bourns pots are high grade and very smooth turning and the
metal k**bs have a great feel to them
The Bridge pickup tone can be adjusted with the bottom k**b
in the 4th and 5th switch positions
The Hipshot bridge is well designed and has a smooth solid feel.
The tremolo springs have silicone inserts to deaden the spring noise.
Includes a brand new Musician's Gear Stratocaster hard shell case
with CANDY
Vintage style wires are used

SOLD!

2013 Custom built Stratocaster made in U.S.A
Honeyburst Nitro hand stained finish on an alder body.
Redundant Noiseless design with shielding, Lace Alumitone pickups, and tremolo spring noise eliminating inserts make this guitar dead quiet when plugged in and in any switch position.
I have carefully assembled the guitar with all new high end parts only found only on the best of guitars. The difference is astounding.
The guitar features solid brass k**bs and customized accents on the hardware.
The pickguard (customized Mighty Mite), back-plate (Fender) and neck-plate (plastic gasket to protect the body) were primered coated then wrapped with 3M 1080 vinyl and provides excellent scratch resistance. The look is amazing!
The body has several very light scratches and dings in places but they are hard to find and photograph. I posted the pics of the worst ones I could find and that wasn't easy. The body looks fantastic!
The neck is in perfect condition WITHOUT play wear and set with a slight relief. It has a brand new Black Tusq nut installed. The frets were already perfect and I polished them out to 12000 grit.
Action is set low and intonation is perfect.
The Deathbucker bridge pickup is wired to have tone control with the bottom tone k**b when in the 5th position. A nice option with this HOT! pickup. The bottom tone k**b still functions normally with the middle pickup in other positions.
The guitar is Fully Set Up and is ***UNPLAYED*** except by me for setup and testing.
The trem action is smooth, firm and sensative.
It plays smooth and clean and is purpose built to be PLAYED.
The guitar plays and sounds INCREDIBLE!
I am including a black Musicians Gear hard shell case to insure the guitar is protected for shipping and storage.
