Yeah that's a CV loaded pickguard I got from out dear departed @>>>>>.
Gonna give it a go and see if the platform deserves an electrical upgrade. It's been a long time since I owned a Strat. The last (and first) one I owned I bought on credit in 1995 when I was leaving school and heading off to who knows what. Turns out that was crappy bar jobs, a crappy degree from a crappy uni and most of a decade bumming round London doing bike-related odd jobs. It was one of the very first Mex ones and although bigged up in the gear press at the time, weighted a ton, had an inch thick poly finish and crappy ceramic pickups. It was my only guitar till I maxed out a credit card on a s/h USA tele in 2001 and joined a band. My cousin still has it. Toyed with the idea of buying it back. I may yet. Nostalgia and all that.
