How many of you guys, like myself, love to customize Fenders? I know I sure as hell do. Post some of your custom Fenders here!
Starting with the white one. The white one was originally black and had the neck that the black one has now. I bought it at a pawn shop for $150 with a hard case. It originally had a diamond plate chrome pickguard, push pull pots and a SD Hot Rails in the neck and bridge and a SD 59 JB (I think) in the mid position. I sold all the pickups and put a black pickguard on it with GFS Pro Tube pickups. Wasn't content with those after several months. I moved to Arizona and needed a project to keep me occupied so I sanded it down, painted it white, and made it what it is now. I sold the neck that was on it, bought a right handed neck with rosewood, a Warmoth pickguard, an Alnico III pickup for the bridge and an Alnico V for the neck. Wired it like a Telecaster. It's got amazing tone and great playability. And a hell of a story.
The second guitar, the black one, was my first Strat. An '07 MIM Strat. I swapped necks on the guitars originally. The black one has Texas Specials in it, wired like an Eric Johnson Strat so the tone pot controls the bridge pickup. Sperzel Locking tuners and a Tele tip for the switch. Both are killer guitars, even though they're all MIM parts (except the pickups and electronics). They both have Sprague Orange Drop caps. The black Strat has vintage cloth covered wiring. Anyways, just thought I'd share my custom Fenders. I'm interested to see what you guys have.
