Comments: Great site man, cant put into words how much it helped with my 1990 strat plus deluxe, not 1999. I was wondering if you've had any experience with the Ash bodies turning milky around the edges of the guitars.
Admin reply: very odd that your guitar shows a milky tinge around the edges. It has to be the clear coat somehow reacting with either UV or the sealer used when finishing the guitar. Is your the natural finish or the semi-transparent colored finish?

Comments: Great website ! Must have taken forever. Have read the Plus / Plus DLX pages at least 20 times now. Very confusing but I usually find the answer to my query. Fantastic job. Must have driven you mad with all the variations and contradictions. What were Fender thinking of ? Cheers GP

Comments: Very nice website lots of interesting info.Have just finished rebuilding my HM strat ,rerouted for a floyd rose and a humbucker in the neck (HSH) master volume and tone with a blend * * * in the third spot.Humbuckers are wired series split parallel. The pickups are Tom Andersons .Have always wanted a Strat with a ebony fretboard but just way too complicated to remove and replace .

Comments: I wanted to post some information about the pick guard I purchased from Jeff back in January. It was actually assembled by Jeff with the intent of putting it in one of his guitars.Its in the strat ultra configuration SSH burgundy in the neck silver in the middle and a blue blue dually in the bridge position. First off im not a professional musician and pickups in my opinion are a very subjective topic. Lace sensors are a very debated subject on the internet but personally I love they way they sound. If you like the sensors in the least little bit you owe it to yourself to try some different configurations and the true ultra switching that as far as i am aware of Jeff is one of the only folks that builds guards with the correct ultra wiring. Check out. My guitar is ultra versatile and i can get tones from a tele to a les paul without touching the eq on the amp. If you are serious about your tone than get a pickguard from Jeff. I promise you will not be sorry.

Comments: Great site. Love the collection, and ID process for finding out what I have on some of my strats all except my 1988 Strat Plus Deluxe that looks like a surf green, but darker, and yet not a dark green with the LSR roller nut, Sperzel tuners with Ser# E 800504. Gold lace at the next, Silver in the middle, and Blue lace at the bridge. Thanks for a great tour.

Comments: Great site....I recently purchased a MIJ 72 re-issue Strat E708260 serial number...the pick ups were changed to EMG SA sounds great.....real thin neck which I like. I didn't see anything on the 72 re-issue on your site but the info you have was great help...is there anything else you can tell me about them?
Thanks for the info and again great site
