Custom Wired Stratocaster Strat Metallic Red Fender Alnico V Excellent -
Price:
$300
Location:
Paris, KY
Description:
THE BODY IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. THERE IS A VERY MINOR SCUFF ON THE BACK AND A COUPLE ON THE EDGE. IT IS A GORGEOUS GLOSS METALLIC RED FINISH AND IS SOLID ALDER. THERE ARE NO DENTS, DINGS OR OTHER SCRATCHES. IT HAS A 3 PLY TBLACK/WHITE/BLACK PARCHMENT PICKGUARD WITH 3 SINGLE COIL PICKUPS. THE PROTECTIVE PLASTIC FILM IS STILL ON THE PICKGUARD. THE PICKUPS A NEW SET OF CUSTOM WOUND ALNICO V SINGLE COILS. THEY SOUND LIKE A CROSS BETWEEN THE AMERICAN STANDARD SINGLE COILS AND THE CUSTOM SHOP TEXAS SPECIALS. THE POLES ARE STAGGERED FOR A 9.5 INCH RADIUS NECK. THE WIRING IS AS FOLLOWS: I PUT A 250K PUSH/PULL POT(WITH SPRAGUE ORANG DROP.022 CAP) IN THE REAR TONE POSITION. WHEN PULLED OUT, IT WILL RUN THE BRIDGE PICKUP IN SERIES(HUMBUCKER STYLE) WITH THE MIDDLE PICKUP IN POSITION 1 OR THE NECK PICKUP IN SERIES WITH THE MIDDLE IN POSITION 5. WHEN PUSHED IN, IT OPERATES AS A "NORMAL" STRAT. SO YOU CAN GET A THICKER TONE FROM THE NECK OR BRIDGE WITHOUT ADDING A HUMBUCKER. BUT IT IS NOT A HUMBUCKER TONE. IT IS STILL A STRAT TONE, JUST THICKER AND VERY OPEN AND AIRY. IT ALSO GIVES THE HUMBUCKER 25-30 % INCREASE IN VOLUME AND HUM CANCELLING. PLUS YOU CAN KEEP THE SAME SINGLE COIL TONES TOO. I PUT A 250K PUSH/PULL POT (WITH SPRAGUE ORANGE DROP.022 CAP) IN THE NECK TONE POSITION. WHEN PULLED, IT ACTIVATES THE NECK PICKUP IN ANY POSITION. YOU CAN USE THE BRIDGE AND NECK TOGETHER TO GET THE TELE MIDDLE SOUND. OR YOU CAN USE ALL 3 PICKUPS TOGETHER. FENDER CALLS THIS THE S 1 SWITCHING. THEY USE A BUTTON. BECAUSE IT DOES N'T CHANGE THE LOOK OF THE GUITAR, I LIKE TO USE A POT. WITH THE 2 PUSH/PULL POTS AND THE 5 WAY, YOU CAN GET A TON OF GREAT TONES. I ALSO ADDED THE BRIDGE PICKUP TO THE REAR TONE POT. I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY THERE WAS NO TONE CONTROL FOR THE BRIDGE PICKUP. THE REAR POT CONTROLS BOTH MIDDLE AND BRIDGE NOW. THE 5 WAY SWITCH WAS CHANGED TO A USA MADE 5 WAY SWITCH. I ALSO ADDED A SPRAGUE ORANGE DROP TREBLE BLEED TO THE VOLUME CIRCUIT. THIS LETS YOU KEEP THE SAME TONE WHEN YOU ROLL BACK THE VOLUME, INSTEAD OF LOSING THE CRISPNESS. THE PICKUP AND CONTROL CAVITIES ARE COATED IN METALLIC SHIELDING. THE BACK OF THE PICKGUARD IS SHIELDED AS WELL.THE NECK IS A 70'S STYLE MAPLE WITH A ROSEWOOD FRETBOARD. THE 21 FRETS ARE A MEDIUM JUMBO. THE FRET EDGES ARE NICE AND SMOOTH. THERE IS ZERO FRET WEAR. THE TUNERS ARE A NEW SET OF PING 14:1 RATIO TUNERS. THE FENDER 70'S STYLE WATER SLIDE DECAL WAS APPLIED. THEN 4 COATS OF SATIN LACQUER WERE APPLIED OVER IT AND LIGHTLY SANDED WITH 1500.program contact information.THANKS, MICHAEL.
