I'm sure many of you have seen my tele on the forums, but I never introduced my strat. Well Here she is-

2000 MIM Standard Sunburst Strat

Maple neck ( For some reason I just don't like Rosewood, even though I'm a big hendrix/SRV fan.)

Custom Shop 69 pups

CTS Pots

Perloid Pickguard

I plan to put some shielding in there to control the hum. I stand very close to my amp at curch, and I get a pretty bad hum.

Here's my strat. What do you think ?

Ohh yeah, don't forget the awesome Pink Floyd strap.

Very nice. I've ways liked the sunburst/maple combination. Personally, I'd change the pickguard to either black or white; but that's just me.

+1 Thats how a Strat should look, but I'd go with a white pickguard

+1

My pick would be aged white.

Nice strat though. I like maple too more than rosewood, feels great, sounds great, looks great...

I got this guitar with the pearloid guard, but the guy did give me the original guard aswell. I never realy thought of putting it on there. What a coinsidence, the original guard is white, more specificaly aged white. It had a nice creamy color to it. Maybe I'll stick it on there.

Hello strat. And what's your name, little guitar??

Definitely an aged white guard would be the dog's attachments for that.

I think if you change the pup covers, knobs and tip to parchment it would look better. But hey, it's a nice looking guitar as is! I like maple better then rosewood too.
Are you going to use shielding foil or paint?
Get a PickGuard shield first as it will cut a lot of noise down.
