I like Fender guitars. I really like strats. I like them so much, I've got two & I'm waiting for the third on eI've just bought to arrive.

It's an Olympic white 2007 USA standard. So far so good. I want to tuen it into my main gigging guitar - I'm currently rehearsing a band that's out & about for the first time next month.

Here's what I intend to do; Graph Tech saddles, LSR roller nut, sperzel locking tuners, lace sensor pickups, tone bleed circuit.

Sounds good? Anything missed for a working guitar? What about improving the tremolo block?

I'd get it set up bang on to your preferences then leave it as Leo intended.

Newer Strats sound great out the box. I find older ones (mid '90's and earlier) to be more hit and miss.

Don't want to mess with the nature of the beast if theres nowt wrong with it.

Mine ('92 IIRC) is perfect after a refret and a set up from Jimmy Moon.

Doesn't get played as much these days due to my recent-ish Taylor and 335 purchases.
