Had one back in the day but broke off the headstock with some reckless antics caught it on a microphone stand....pow. Gotta be careful gigging Gibbys with the set neck.---------Below pic is probably 10 yr old, the Champ was sold off for a profit, replaced with a 83 Super Champ.....she is even more beat up now.This is the best sounding Strat I have ever heard, including famous pro players live in concert over the years. I am blessed and not worthy. The pups are actually dated 1956 and have YB signature. No, I will not take it apart for pictures in fact I will never disassemble it again.....the blue was a very rare custom color I am lead to believe but the guitar has always been a player with multiple tweaks and parts that wore out replaced from a 1982 Fullerton reissue.....I threw the worn out bits away including the original rusty neck plate and saddles. Thus at this point she is a "mutt" like Clapton's blackie. You can see the Sperzels and the graphite nut so she can come close to divebombing with the tremelo. I am not interested in baseball card guitar fever.....so other than the dated pups there is no documentation, don't care. The bridge pup was rewound hot years ago by Lindy Fralin and the pole pieces cut flat like a tele...I have tho been offered insane amounts of cash for her and laughed. The beast yep she stays in the family.A couple of crisis at home preclude me from breaking out my other babies for pics at the moment.[ATTACH=full]128826[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
