Fender Wayne Kramer Strat

[Graffiti62]

Has anyone seen or played one of these yet?

I've never seen anyone ever put a humbucker in the middle. Many times in the bridge and in the neck, but never the middle.....

I saw the pickguard on ebay and wondered what the guitar would look like. Not bad overall. I don't understand the ring for the humbucker. But I really hate fake wear marks.  :dontknow:

I think the HB ring comes from a confused luthier. This was the sixties--nobody had ever really put a humbucker on a Fender before, and the poor guy probably went with what he knew--he mounted the pickup as he normally would on a Gibson, cut a hole big enough in the pickguard, and put it together from there--it was simply doing what you knew, considering what they did and didn't know in the late sixties.

It looks a lot better putting humbuckers in a pickguard with rings than without them. That's a fact of life. Even back then.

The rest of that design ... not so much.

I'm not familiar with "swaring". Where do they do that? <grin>

i disagree, as the pickguard IS the mounting ring, just supersized.  looks funny to me to see it doubled up like that, sorta like superhero underwear over the pants.

I put it in a URL... so why did it post through anyways?

I don't get it. Then again, I don't really get more than 2 pickups in a guitar anyway

MC5 had a strong radical left-wing message, and those kinds of things were viewed as acts of desecration to the flag. Now when Toby Keith does it, it's patriotic. :dontknow:
