    Ok Let's see your number one favorite player.

    This is my 90s Strat Plus Deluxe. Not a build, but I gutted the electronics: BG V60s with a S90 in the bridge, S1 switch for 10-sound strat, and a bass rolloff control which is really helpful to help sculpt some of those in series combos. I recently leveled and polished the frets, and hit the...

    It's around the bridge pickup cavity. I found a really good matching touch up paint for the silver sparkle and before the final pics, I applied some StewMac clear on top. It's not really noticable from two feet away. Gonna clean and buff a couple times to see if I can get it just right.

    The Squier Contemporary Strat Special has the same pu layout but a 5-way. Here's the best wiring diagram I could find in a quick Google search. I wish I still owned mine, I'd trace it for you all. https://www.facebook.com/groups/guitarrepairsdiscussion/posts/1999513653832980/
