1997 Fender Stratocaster Plus Deluxe Electric Guitar (Modded)

Fender Strats are definitely a bit pedestrian around here, but this one's kinda neat -- it's an American "Plus Deluxe" from '97 and it arrived here stock -- with Lace Sensors and a "normal" wiring harness.

Per the owner's request, I fit more-typical-sounding, parts-bin, Strat-style single coils and then the mod I usually do for myself -- it has master tone and volume and a simple on/off flip switch where the second tone knob would be. Said switch adds the neck pickup into whatever position you're in on the 5-way. This gets you the "all pickups" setting and "bridge and neck" settings.

Other weird features of this Strat include locking tuners, a roller nut, and locking, Floyd-made, Strat-style whammy/bridge unit with a two-point setup. It's very "modern" for a 20+ year-old guitar, for sure, and once all that hardware is dialed-in it works swell.

Other work done included a fret level/dress and overall glorified setup work.
