An updated family portrait of me Strats.

I’ve relocated once again. The wife and I moved to Spring, TX. I think I’m certifiably retired now. I sit and watch the world go by. Feeling a bit like Sid. I think I’ll show up at someone’s studio and just sit there and stare at the goings on.  ?

Phew.

 

For a minute there I thought I was gonna have to try and think of something nice to say about that weird looking relative........

(everyone has at least one of those, right?)

 

 

 

Hint: If you think that you don't. It's you.

From left to right:

2018 MIM Fender Deluxe Strat, 2020 MIM Fender Deluxe Strat HSS, 2021 Fender American Ultra HSS (changed the pickguard), 2021 Fender American Ultra with 2020 MIM Deluxe neck, 2012 Squier Strat with Texas Hot pickups and grease bucket circuit.  
 

The American body and MIM neck Strat has an interesting back story. Found some guy who broke his American Ultra soon after he got it (how do you break a neck on a Strat?). Bought the body from him. Got the new in box Deluxe neck from Stratosphere. Added in v-Mod humbucker, gen 4 noiseless pickups, a S1 switch and a Ultra Trem. So it’s essentially a Partscaster. Essentially it pairs to things I like in the straits I’ve got. 12” radius neck of the Deluxe and the lower bout relief cut/tapered heal of the American Ultra .

My Tele is that too (Partscaster). I bought the body off ebay, purchased new Fender noisless pups and a '59 neck from Musicians Friend. Then my buddy who is a luthier put it all together. ?
