Finally did a big order of some stuff from Realtone Music, amongst the bits and pieces I ordered are a set of Gold Sperzel Trim Lock Tuners, they are a set of 6 Staggered-height Tuners with a 12:1 Gear Ratio, the Staggered-Height means that no string-trees are needed to get the brake-angle of the D and G, and B and E strings correct, this eliminates one possible cause of tuning problems due to friction, I also ordered a complete set of new Gold Pickguard screws, and Gold Single-Coil mounting screws too, I have elected to keep using the original gold Neck Plate, but I'm using a set of four Black Neck mounting screws cause I think they look cool on the back of the Gold Strat.
Hopefully all the bits I've ordered will turn up in the post by either the end of this week or maybe sometime next week, then the following fortnight is when the new Bladerunner Bridge will be ordered.
Exciting times ahead, cause the build process is going to be reaching it's conclusion and the Gold Strat will hopefully be playable again, will keep you all updated so stay tuned.
