It's a california series launched something about ten years ago it is a vintage guitar and the stock pickups will defenatly get replaced when i replaced the pickguard a few weeks ago since the white turned into yellow brown and i did not like it i replaced it with a white pearloid pickguard and when it was uncovered i noticed that the routing at the bridge is for a humbucker aswell so i will order a nice set from Bare knuckle pickups and i'm thinking about the Irish tour and Nailbomb HSS set for a good bluesy sound and get a new pickguard aswell ofcourse. What i also replaced for my dad was the neck plate it was a chrome plate with noting on it so i also replaced it with a new one that has the fender logo on it and corona california below that i think it is the standard neckplate for USA made stratocasters these days. In the future i will also order a replacement neck because the glossy vintage finish makes it kinda feel sticky if you know what i mean and the small vintage frets are not my favourite. So i will order a 2008 or 2009 American standard strat neck in a few months. I could never dreamed of a better gift then a great guitar that will be even better in the future. I need to make preperations for tonights party Keep on rocking guys Chris Oh yeah he also gave me a ticket to go see George Thorogood & the destroyers it is a good day You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You can get perfect Van Halen/George Lynch style tones from it, it's great for Hair Metal and gives you spot on the Iron Maiden tone - But as it is a custompickup, it can literally do everything from blues to Deathmetal - The Holydiver is just the best for 80's metal They are incredibly warm sounding, too warm for a Les Paul but perfect for the bright tone of a stratocaster!!! They also have the best clean tones of all high-output bareknuckles and the best lead tone of all BKPs! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Thx for the advice i have heard a sample of them when someone used a holy diver in a strat and the dude was playing warpigs from black sabbath i think and it sounded very sweet, i will check them out and go for your advice i love 80's hard rock and metal in my opinion best metal was made in the 80's.
