Hi,
Well, after buying another electric guitar (a J&D Luthiers Telecaster), I decided that I would rebuild my Strat. Naively, I dismantled it before ordering the parts, but they're on their way, anyway. I'm going to replace all the electronics, wires, potentiometers (will use 250K pots rather than the stock 500K), capacitor (will use .05uf rather than the stock .1uf, this is what Fender used during the '50s), and am thinking of putting Fender Custom Shop 1969 Pickups in her.
I don't have any pictures at the moment, but if anyone has any comments or queries, they're welcomed! :D
Cheers.
EDIT: I forgot to mention I'm going to be putting a Pearloid White pickguard on it. The guitar itself is Metallic Red, with a Rosewood Fretboard.
