Stratocaster a 4 out of 5!

Purchased new for $380 in 1999. I love the vintage
look, the feel of the C shaped neck and the price was right. I found the
7.25" neck and the vintage frets to be a problem for playing the
blues in the higher registers (strings would fret out). I ultimately
had a compound radius done on the neck and jumbo frets installed. I
also became tired of the nasally sound and noise of the stock pickups.
I replaced them with Dimarzio Virtual Vintage pickups. This guitar
is an incredible player now!
The guitar is built to last. The only construction issue I had was
the saddles. They were flimsy and the screws stripped out. I
replaced them with the American Vintage saddles. Now they are
perfect.
The guitar without mods was a great value. With the mods it is a
dream guitar.
I bought the guitar for $380, I put a bunch of money into it, but now I
have a guitar that sounds and plays better than just about any
Stratocaster you can find.
