I admit it. I had too much fun buying Strats and finally realized after 7 of them that I had more than I needed. Not to mention that I need to pick up a humbucker guitar (most likely a PRS, Gibby LP, or Duesenberg). So I have a couple of Strats that I don't touch for sale.

First up is an all USA parts Strat. I got this one from bootsypratt. I believe that it is a mid-80's body. The neck is from a 60th Anniversary USA. As you can see, it has the CBS headstock. When I got it, it had Fender Hot Noiseless pickups in it. I changed those out for Klein 1969 pickups with a RWRP middle pup. The body was refinished in oly white and is yellowing nicely. There are a couple of finish blemishes on it. I reaplced the original pickguard but still have the original. Also, I replaced the blender pot but saved it as well. Those will come with the guitar. The guitar also has the original Fender hardshell case that isn't in perfect condition but has definitely served its purpose and will continue to do so. The guitar still plays great, and I can't see any fretwear. $650 shipped NO LONGER FOR SALE - At least in 1 piece anyway

Next up is a Mexi Strat that I just picked up about a month ago. It started out as Agave Blue but had a couple of nicks in the finish and one chipped out area. So I stripped it with the heat gun (no burns), sanded it, and refinished it with Heather (a Gibby color). I added the gold annodized pickguard along with Tonerider Classic Blues pickups. The pickup covers and knobs are parchment color. As with the other one, there's lots of life in the frets. I will be honest that when I refinished this one, I finally got tired and didn't wetsand this one. So it could use a wetsanding and buffing. It didn't come with the Fender gig bag, but I have a gig bag that I can throw it in. $275 shipped

I would prefer to sell the guitars as wholes, but I may be persuaded to part them out. If I was to part them out, I would sell them as neck/tuners/neck screws/neck plate, pickguard/pickups/electronics, body/tremolo/strap buttons assemblies. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Heather is a hottie...
And has the same name as a girl I was in love with all through high school! Shocked

How about trades? I have a barely used planer and a barely used jointer. Smile

OK those are not for sale or trade. But what about a Carvin SH 550?

Selling off the neck from the Oly White Strat. It's a 2006 USA neck with a 9.5 radius. There is some fretwear on the first 4 frets but still has some life before a crowning is needed. Selling it with the tuners, neck screws, and neck plate. $165 shipped SOLD

Also selling a loaded pickguard. The pickguard is currently loaded with a Seymour Duncan Lil 59 in the bridge and Fender Hot Noiseless pickups in the middle and neck. The Lil 59 has enough wire to rewire for a coil tap. By the way, that Lil 59 sounds really good. The pots are 2 CTS pots and 1 Alpha pot. The 5-way switch is a CRL switch. Also included with this is a brand new white 3-ply pickguard. The loaded pickguard is aged white. I also have included the bridge single coil to complete the set of Hot Noiseless pickups. The original pickup covers are also included. $150 shipped SOLD

The heather Mexi Strat is still for sale for $275 shipped. NO LONGER FOR SALE
