Not your' average Strat. Loaded with Lace Sensor gold pups, as close as possible to vintage, and are dead silent, CTS pots and a Russian PIO cap. 5 way wired for tone on the mid PU, the guitar sounds wicked. Pick guard and cover plate are special order, impregnated with 24 carat gold flecks that sparkle like little gold diamonds. Plays great, and a it's real beauty. Very well taken care of with a L&M hard case. Worth way more $s. Thanks, Mike in Duncan
