01GT eibach Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) My Strat had a blank boring chrome neckplate ... up until about 5 minutes ago. This new one is etched with its SN too. And for some quick slight of hand, I made the change without even de-tuning the strings. I made the swap and it was still in tune afterward! I saw this on eBay (the seller is "lazrart"). Super great quality, too. The guitar: '05 Mexican straight-up "Standard Stratocaster" -- modified with (awesome) Tex Mex pups, Graphtech saddles, later model Fender OEM heavier trem block, black knobs, pearloid pickguard/backplate, and tweed HSC. It has a fabulous neck with a rosewood board (pre-pau ferro ... nice!), great Strat tone, and tremendous sustain. But, I so much miss not having a 22nd fret.

01GT eibach Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Oops ... "Z4" in the SN equates to "zero 4" as in '04. Not a 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 That looks really good. I would consider that if I had a suitable Fender. I agree about the 22 fret though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Cool neck plate and I like the way the black knobs look against the pearl guard. Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
