  1. [size=4][font=Arial][color=#000000]Here's the body and electonics from one of my Strats.[/color][/font] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]First of all, a Fender American Standard body in Sea Foam Green. I can't make out the date in the neck pocket but I bought it second hand around ten years ago. There are a few scratches and dings to the body, the photos show the worst ones and the colour has darkened slightly with age. The body has the "swimming pool rout" which may help in dating it.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]A (if I remember corrrectly) genuine Fender scratch plate in mint green.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]A set of DiMarzio pickups. HS2 (slightly beefier sound and output) in the bridge. HS1 in the neck and middle. All noise cancelling.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]A genuine Fender Clapton mid boost circuit giving volume, mid boost and a TBX tone knob.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]All body cavities have been shielded with copper foil and graphite paint. I could never pick up interference with this guitar.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]Neck plate and screws.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]And last but not least the signature of Robin Trower (out of Procul Harum) on the back.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial][color=#ff0010]Just to clarify:[/color][/font][font=Arial] the bridge pictured in picture 3 is not included and has been already sold. [/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]I adopted a slightly different control layout to Clapton. It's volume then mid boost then at the bottom the TBX. I had a Cornell circuit in another Strat with this layout so to avoid mid gig confusion I adopted the same layout. There's more than enough wire to allow the pots to be switched around.[/font][/font][/color][/size] [attachment=190919:body.jpg] [attachment=190920:body2.jpg] [attachment=190926:DSC_3123.jpg] [attachment=190921:DSC_3117.jpg] [attachment=190922:DSC_3118.jpg] [attachment=190923:DSC_3119.jpg] [attachment=190924:DSC_3120.jpg] [attachment=190925:DSC_3121.jpg] [attachment=190927:DSC_3125.jpg] <script src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/1cc16011/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  2. [size=5][font=Arial][color=#000000]I bought this neck off Ebay around eight years ago. It's a genuine Fender replacement neck with the laser etched logo on the reverse of the headstock. As such it had only the Fender decal on the front. I added the rest (Stratocaster, patents, contour body etc) [/color][/font] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]The nut and frets are in exceptional condition, I didn't really play it much, as I now mainly play bass. [/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]The neck has a lovely aged nitro cellulose finish. there are two cracks in the laqueur on the back of the neck behind the 7th,8th and 9th frets. These are superficial and definitely not structural. The cracks were there when I bought the neck and the guitar has behaved impeccably all through the time I've owned it. The cracks haven't got any worse.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]The neck is dated Jan 19 2005.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]The fingerboard is the correct 7.25" radius. A proper old fashioned C shape. Depth at the nut end: 21mm (excluding fret) and at the heel end: 23.6mm agin, excluding fret.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]The frets are vintage but not the puniest I have ever played, I make them 2.6mm wide and 1.3mm high. very little fret wear.[/font][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Times][font=Arial]Under the Sperzels the mounting holes for the original Kluson style machine heads are still there. The headstock holes have been reamed out to 10mm to accomodate the moder tuners. It is very easy to source bushes that will adapt the holes back to vintage spec (¼"?)[/font][/font][/color][/size] [color=#000000][font=Times][size=5][font=Arial]This could be a bit tricky to post safely so a meet up could be the best solution (I'm in Leicestershire) [/font][/size] [attachment=190910:DSC_3114.jpg] [attachment=190911:DSC_3115.jpg] [attachment=190912:DSC_3116.jpg] [attachment=190913:DSC_3124.jpg][/font][/color] [attachment=190914:$_57.jpg] [attachment=190915:neck1.jpg] [attachment=190916:neck2.jpg] [attachment=190917:neck3.jpg] [attachment=190918:nut.jpg] <script src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/1cc16011/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  3. Found some EMG knobs that I can chuck in too. £50 for all that active goodness delivered to your door! Can't be bad eh?
  4. The way they go limp doesn't help either.
  5. This has sat on my pedal board for over a year and I might have used it once (possibly by accident) so it's up for grabs. It's the black label true bypass version in the original box with instructions. Velcro on the bottom as pictured. A snip at £55 posted to your door!

  6. I bought these a year or two to put on a Precision I've now sold. Full complement of pots and jack socket, all solderless connectors. Working a treat [attachment=190621:DSCF1716.JPG] [attachment=190624:DSCF1719.JPG] [attachment=190625:DSCF1718.JPG] Will gladly take £50 posted to your front door. <script src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/9b7da4c2/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/9b7da4c2/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  7. Bridge pickup sold, post modified.
  8. A Tesla precision pickup I've had floating around for a while. Sounds great, vintage cloth covered wire, 11.3Kohms impedance. Will take £40 posted [attachment=190248:DSCF1691.jpeg]
  9. The neck pickup from my 2010 American Deluxe precision bass. All working and in good order. Taken out because I've gone all EMG! [attachment=190246:DSCF1692.jpeg] £30 plus p&p <script src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/589e7b94/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  10. Last drop to £550 before I break it for parts.
  11. The clear out continues! A set of Fender Noiseless Jazz pickups bought a few years back and fitted to my fretless jazz for a while. [attachment=187510:DSC_3239.jpg] The middle pair of pole pieces are raised in relation to the E and G pairs so good balance is achieved. They sound great and are pretty much immune to interference, more so than the N3 jazz on my USA Deluxe P! Plenty of wire left on them. One thing I should point out is that is that on the neck pickup one of the pole pieces on the D string is not chamfered like the rest. I can't hear any difference so I'm sure this is purely cosmetic. [attachment=187511:DSC_3240.jpg] As such I'm prepared to take £40 for them plus P&P <script src="safari-extension://com.ebay.safari.myebaymanager-QYHMMGCMJR/3c7b3235/background/helpers/prefilterHelper.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  12. Any sensible offers considered!
  13. On ebay now, get 'em cheaper here folks!
  14. Price dropped to £699. Roll up, roll up!
  15. £89 posted. Can't say fairer than that?
  16. A very nice chap to do business with. Dead quick payment too!
