Replaced the USA neck with a 62 Japanese Fender reissue neck that I liked better and made monopoly money selling the neck reinstalled the original Fullerton tuners and neck plate with low V serial number.....this guitar was owned originally by a Berklee professor. I have had her about 15 years and also will never let it go. Plays and sounds like butter. Again, I am not worthy but I know strats and how to set them up....and I am not a collector have no interest in all that silliness. I had a pretty good run in the early days of eBay chopping up Mexican and Japanese reissue strats and reselling the bits and the neck I bolted to this guitar was the best one I had ever played....rivals anything the Fender custom shop has ever produced. It was from a 1996 50th anniversary run in Japan of the best of their best. I would stack this player up with any 62 Strat anywhere. The early Fullerton reissues were made with the same tooling and in many cases I understand the same employees that built the 50's and early 60's strats. They were built with closer more modern tolerances tho, many strat fans consider the best of the early Fullerton reissue guitars to be the equivalent of the best of the originals....certainly at least they match modern custom shop standards. Many are now fetching over $3000 themselves.....  These pictures also several yr old I would guess, the pickguard and pup covers have yellowed significantly since..... I will try to post Nikon pics including my old Les Paul, Fender FSR telecaster and G/L 2000 bass asap....Happy holidays folks![ATTACH=full]128833[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
