2015 MIM Deluxe Player's Strat. Some pics before we took off the 5 strings that were on it and cleaned off the crud.
Yeah, it's rust. Still looks better than it did.
Usually, I like tort and, I don't want to sound unpatriotic but, I'm not thrilled with it looks. Still couldn't pass it up, it's a player.
Was thinking, maybe if I put a black pickguard on it or, what if I just changed the pickup covers and the knobs to black. What if it didn't have gold hardware, then would everything else be not so hideous?
Bought from a friend. He thought something with the wiring was fucked up. Bridge pickup has hardly any output. Opened it up, went through with an ohm meter, I didn't find anything wrong other than the bridge pickup is dead.
On the fence with what to do with it. Should be under warranty, get it replaced for free. Warranty is non-transferable so, it would be pretending that it is still owned by friend. I'm surprised how much I like the Vintage Noiseless pickups, reviews are not kind to them. Was thinking of replacing the bridge pickup with something much hotter and not noiseless. Really like the neck and middle pickup, don't know if I would like the bridge pickup or not. Googleing Vintage Noiseless problems, people are saying fitting a noiseless into the pickup cover is why they are prone to problems, just not enough room. So, I guess I won't be changing to black pickup covers.
