I now have three Strats (and two Super Strats.) At first I hated the ergonomics vs. a Jaguar/Jazzmaster (volume control/trem arm in the way, bridge way back near the strap button, strings way down low on the body) but I got used to it... Really love all of mine now, for doing all the things we're just used to hearing a Strat do, and for the upgradeability; I have multiple pickguard a I switch on depending on my mood.
King Buzzo: I love when people come up to me and say “Your guitar sound was better on Stoner Witch, when you used a Les Paul. “...I used a Fender Mustang reissue on that, dumbass!

If you feel inclined to take the pickguard off, Dinarzios will have a sticker underneath saying DP xxx, where xxx is the pickup model number. The model numbers are listed on the Dimarzio website.

Looks like a really nice guitar!!


Cheers

Cool demo... Are safety goggles a requirement when you play... do you end all sessions by throwing your pick like a ninja star the way all 80s hair metal guitarists did in their videos?

Welcome to the 'reluctant strat enthusiast club'.

I have infatuations with all makes and models of guitar but always end up coming back to a strat. Particularly ones with a big CBS headstock...
