NGBD My 2000 Strat Body and Three Necks Are Here...

[Sp8ctre]

...help me choose the neck. They are in order in each subsequent shot.

This was originally a 2000 Fender Deluxe Players Strat. Honey Blonde with Gold Hardware.

Three single coil pickups, great tone. The pickups are made by a guy named Derek Carignan from SMJ pickups. Middle pickup is wound with vintage wire to 69 spec. Neck pickup is an SMJ Blues.

I like how you can see the wood grain through the paint job. Any of the necks will look great.

Anyone but if I had to pick for this body color it would be #2.

But I would prefer a Black body and black pickguard (today anyhoo)!!
just nod if you can hear me......

I like the first neck. It's a bit less flamey than the other two and I feel like that works well with the body color.

Are you planning to leave the dude's signature on the pickguard?

Thanks! Not sure about the signature? I will for a while because I don't have a replacement and don't feel like the swap over right now...

nice getting new shiny things

I have the neck on, but my Gold Plated Back Plate didn't show up. I'll have to change that out neck week.

The neck looks lighter in person. The flash brought out a deeper tone...

The specs are all the same. I'll measure them and post later today. Yes, I could sell one. I have an extra!

Nut looks to be 1 5/8" radius is 9.5 medium frets, standard C shape and heel is 2 5/32" and Abalone fret markers.

Looks awesome! I think that a new black PG would look great, but hey, that's just me!

The gold back plate will be a nice touch ehh ?

All the hardware is gold so I just about had to go with a gold backplate. Otherwise I would have to swap everything out!

Not sure about the pickguard yet...I may leave the one he autographed on there? Torn...

A gold anodized aluminum PG would be cool!
