    Default Brand New American Standard



    Its my Christmas and Birthday present rolled into one, and I will take it
    to a Authorized Fender Service Center and have the pickguard and knobs
    and trem cover changed to Black ones.

    I love the sound and feel of this guitar and am really happy I
    bought it !!!

    Congrats!

    I recently played an Am. Std. Strat and was very impressed. Those are really sweet guitars.

    And +1 on the PG change!

    Nice! Real purty guitar, man.

    No need to take it to a Authorized repair shop to change out knobs and a pickguard. It's so simple even I can do it, and I'm mechanically challenged.

    And that'd be white hardware on a black guard too. It's hard to beat a good honest US 'strat. Lord knows I've tried and keep coming back to mine.

    Default White to Black myself

    I was greatly encouraged and did do the work myself. I bought a few extra
    springs too, so I have 2 silver and 3 black ones for a total of 5 springs.

    I may just put a block of wood in there yet !!!!!

    I have learned a lot about black guitars...........

    1. Wash hands really well with soap and dry.

    2. When done playing, use a separate rag to rub
    down the metal and strings, and then use a silk
    microfiber for the body only...after blowing any dust
    off the body that may have accumulated, as to avoid
    micro scratches that will add up over time. Keep the
    silk microfiber in its own baggie so no dust gets on it
    in the case.

    3. Have Fun !!!

    I also have a black Strat, maple board, black PG. My cleaning regimen is a little different - after a few bar gigs, I hose off the spilled beer & sweat and put it back in it's case. Works for me.

    I mean, no offense, but I don't really see why, like guitar players from Creed, or something like that, are on the cover of guitar magazines. Almost anybody can sit down and learn to play those songs.

    That black treatment is drop dead gorgeous!
    The white edge of the triple pick guard and the white numbers/hash marks on the knobs really grab the eye.

    All right! Great job on the PG swap... it looks great. You have now stepped headlong into the world of Strat modding. Good luck with not getting addicted!

    I always thought that the white PG/Wht covers looked especially plasticky and cheap. That black on black looks absolutely beautiful. Nice choice.
    Congratulations!
