Fender Vintera 70s Stratocaster Mocha MN met gigbag
One of the main reasons that I bought this MIM stratocaster was to look for a guitar where I could change the pickups and electronics, so the base price needed to be relatively low.
After receiving the guitar I spend a couple of hours setting it up to my liking which was not an issue. The neck was well finished and overall the guitar had no flaws. I did change the strings to 010-046 and had to add two strings to the tremolo bridge. In general this guitar does not keep tune well when tremolo is heavily used at least this has been my experience. Tuners are acceptable, but not great.
After a couple of weeks I did change the original pick-ups by a set of Heartbreaker (Cherry Vegas) pickups from Belgium and for the electronics I got an Emerson Custom 5-way Stratocaster blending kit.
Guitar now sounds and plays wonderful and I am happy with my purchase.
