Just ordered my first stage of parts for my Mexican strat today. I ordered a Seymour Duncan dimebucker picup for the bridge and two Seymour Duncan hotrails for the middle and neck position. The black pickguard and three black dome knobs. Also Im gonna throw in a push/pull pot for a little coil tapping action. I'm putting a tiny kill switch right in between the volume/tone knobs and the five way selector switch. All those should be in and installed next week. I'm excited. I think I'm gonna have a hell :dance of a picup combonation on this MIM especially with the push/pull pot up in that beast. And I love the kill switch idea. I'm gonna have some before and after pics for yous soon. I'll post some throughout the whole mod because this is stage one of three. Total remodification done on this boy.
Now, stage two is gonna be a tremelo replacement with a Wilkinson/Gotoh VSVG vintage tremelo. And the Sperzel Trim-Lok guitar machines. However, I'm on the fence about the tremelo replacement. I want everything black so I might just replace what's there with a black one because I have the idea of putting them GraphTech Ghost Picup Saddles in there. Still up in the air. That's one reason I'm doing this mod in stages. So if any of yous has had or have used them pickup saddles before. Please share some info. Thanks
