Stratocaster closet finds :D

The electrics came back to life after a good soaking with deoxit.

Two of the pickups had HS3 markings on them.

Now time for some new 9-42s.

The finished product. I plugged in and it sounded just like a Strat should with a little extra punch from the HS3s.

Now on to the oly white 66-67 or what it is.

Stay tuned

Two cool guitars and a great thread. Nice tune-up on the yellow one too, it looks great.

Thanks for sharing.

That yellow in combination with the nicely aged amber maple looks stellar!

Time to work on the White.

The nut is not original and I do not know what the 4 extra holes are for.

Repaint job aside, something about the 67 I really like. Both are great!
Thanks for posting.

Cleaned up and ready to rock. It played real well and I got all of the electrics to work.

Nice work! That's a great looking Stratocaster.

Great thread thank you for sharing!
I would love to own a 60's strat especially a 1960 model.
