I started a new guitar build inspired by Jimi Hendrix' "woodstock" strat. As many as you know, the original Fender Strat was a '68 in olympic white with a white pickguard. I elected to use a mint green pickguard to give that aged look - but I think I might go back to the white.
The pickups are Fender Custom Shop '69s with a Jensen PIO .047uf capacitor with a blender mod. The original came with a 3-way switch - I elected the 5-way as it's much more versatile. The bridge is a Fender vintage style with stamped saddles. Now, I just got the Warmoth neck in the mail. It's better than I imagined. The neck will be finished in the next couple of weeks in a vintage tint and then I will have some final pics. Also, I ordered "F" neckplate with the original serial number. I can't wait to see how this turns out with the neck finished.
