Hot Rodding an old Strat Copy

[Andy40]

Nice work Waz....so how many builds you got on now?

Its amazing what you can do to a cheap guitar to make it sound reasonable.

I bought a squire Affinity Tele for $50 and gutted it then rebuilt it to use as a test tele for my pickups, put a homespun tele pup in the bridge and now its my go to home player.

great mods and walk through, cant wait to hear it

Nice hot rodding Waz, looks like it will make some lovely noise!

Looks great. Dig the brushed steel pickguard on the black.

Looks a million dollars now. Those darkstars will sound great. Even better the louder you crank them.

cheers,
Gav.

Thanks guys for all your kind comments.

@Swanny, yeah, it is a bit like buying your wife a power tool for a birthday present but I am sure my Son will like it as much as I do.

@Andy40, 2 x PBG & 2 x DIY kits plus these 2 rebuilds plus a Yamaha Pacifica & Epihone Slash LP that will get the fidelity and maybe orange cap upgrades.

Need to send the missus on a shopping trip this weekend so I can fully crank things up.

@pablopepper, pickguard on eBay for $15 delivered from Hong Kong. Hard to beat that price and this one should last longer than the previous acrylic mirror one.

Cant beat the darkstars to add some edge. Looks great Waz

Soundclips now done.

Can anyone advise how to attach/insert/upload MPEG-4 Audio files? Do I have to post on Youtube or can this be done similar to uploading photos from a folder on my hard drive?

Thanks, Waz

my thought would be something like soundcloud, no idea if we have support for embedding though
