@Gav. Thanks for that. I'm really pleased with this Strat. It was my first build and a bit 'rough' around the edges but now tweaked to my satisfaction. It has been interesting revisiting an old project
@Doc - lol, next strat will use far less shielding tape! Being my first build it was overkill in all areas. Like the foil tip.
@Tony - I reckon its partly due the layout of the pickguard. Everything is placed nice and logically & easily accessible.
@Blueshound - I've plugged this in this morning much to the dismay of my neighbours! Twangier, louder, much more dirt. Even on low gain I can get some feedback effects.
One thing to note for would-be up-graders is that to fit the CRL type switch you have to cut a bit more out of the cavity to accommodate it. Also quite a bit of additional weight is added with full size pots etc. but it feels nice and solid.
I may upgrade the bridge later but considering I've hard-tailed it I'm not convinced splashing out on a new one with a hefty steel block is worthwhile.
