Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) I couldn't resist the Andertons exclusive black fender vintera 70s hardtail stratocaster with custom shop '69 pickups so I placed an order over the weekend and it was delivered today. This is now easily my best sounding guitar - perfect with my GTX100 amp. It feels instantly familiar as the neck profile is very similar to my '72 reissue MIJ tele thinline. I wonder why a wiggle stick was included in the case candy though; I'll probably put that on ebay. I've already received a (genuine fender) black pickguard to go on it and I'm expecting a set of pickup covers, knobs & switch tip in black within a day or two.

Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 20, 2023 Author Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I have swapped out the pickguard for a Fender 11 hole 3 play black one and the plastics for a black Fender accessory kit. I had to wait a day before doing this as the screw holes for the pickups and switch in the original pickguard were countersunk, but they weren't in the replacement. I had the choice of either using a countersink bit on the new pickguard or ordering new round head screws. I ordered some screws from armstrong music yesterday and they arrived this morning. Couldn't resist this stratocaster t-shirt from sainsburys! Edited July 20, 2023 by Jean-Luc Pickguard 1 Quote
