I love it. Would the stock pickups have plastic bobbins (assuming the 75 bobbins are fiber?) The neck on that looks awesome, CBS didn’t fail at everything (I have a great ‘78 Bronco neck for one thing.)
The Fullerton RIs have the fiber bobbins, but the '57RI's pickups were notoriously unbalanced and inconsistent.
The body and neck, however, are things of beauty. It's the second best Strat neck I've ever played, next to my '82 Fullerton '62RI's. (And that's probably because I've been playing Skippy for thirty-six years.)
I love the '75 pickups. It just oozes Quine and Lou and the middle pickup has that Nile Rogers thing going on, even if I don't.

I went in over my noon hour to try to put together a trade. Your Gretsch gold sparkle was walking out the door already.

Rob said it wouldn't last long! The Fano headed to Kentucky over the weekend.

I like the white.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

I wouldn’t bother changing it. Aluminum on an otherwise vintage-looking guitar has a sort of ‘Pep Boys accessories aisle’ vibe I am leery of.

Excellent point. I've got a Mastery one lying about, so I put it in the mix.

That's a great find. Those Fullerton RIs are great guitars and the price on them has been escalating wildly.

Here's Black Strat yesterday, doing pedal testing:
That's the Caroline Météore Lo-Fi Reverb plugged in and a Waza Craft CE-2w over by the desk. They both play very well with the Strat and the Milkman 1W amp.

Nice amp!
...and the strat's pretty cool, too!
