i'm blown away by it, had heard quite a few bad things about Mexican made Strats but this one kills!

mexican strats are made a lot better than the japanese ones i'm sure. I have one and it barely stays in tune heh. probably just the mechanics though.

what year is your MIJ? which strat model is it?

the MIJ strats used to be the unbelievably well-made ones, and i had a really good one a while back, but i've heard not so good things about recent ones from there.

had a MIA highway one strat that i recently sold, it was solid but fragile with the nitrocellular lacquer they used on them at the time.

i can't get that pic to load for some reason......

i like the texas special pickups and SRV, but i was reading an interview of his guitar tech from way back when and he claimed Stevie preferred low-output pups, under wound, etc. he said that was the key. i was surprised to read that, and those texas specials are hot winds!

The Texas specials are VERY hot ... A little bright for my liking at times.

The Vintage Noiseless pickups to me have the best tone hands down. Tone thick as concrete.

i hear ya, alnico 2 magnets on the vintage noiseless, as you know already, they are so much better sounding than the Alnico 5s, imo.

How much of a difference is your master built jeff beck than the regular production?
Here is what I did: I wanted to combine blackmores '74 natural body/maple neck with a malmsteen style scalloped neck. I went with 1/4 sawn birds eye neck, 22 frets, hand scalloped, medium tint, nitro finish. Abalone inlays. The body has perfect matching grain. I had them put poly on the body & a countoured heel. I went with the s1 switching with paul gilbert injector pickups. It was around $8500 but I said F' it. The buggest pain in the ass was the 18 month wait. Jason Smith did the build.

i was curious about the master built, you can call the shots on customization like that, nice.

i like Blackmore's playing a lot also, his guitar was part and partial why i wanted a natural finish 70s strat!

I am a Gibson or Epiphone Les Paul, my first real guitar I got for my birthday was a 1970 72 can't remember Fender strat and didn't like it because it didn't look kool to me at the time and traded it for a broken down Kramer. God I still kick myself in the ass for that.

right on. the 70s strats are a fascinating era for me. I did quite a bit of research into them and by a lot of accounts, they are the worst of all strat eras. folks talk about how heavy they were and the paint was pretty much whispered on, and the natural finish was also pushed hard, they were slammed together with cheap underwound pickups and shitty hardware, thanks CBS. all from what i've read and understand, not trying to claim expert status.

but nevertheless, a shit ton of killer rock and roll was cranked out on 70s strats right? lots and lots of classic rock, as we all know.

and tbh, i'm still wrapping my ears around these pickups on this 70s rig, they are measured output @ ~6k, easily the weakest pickups of any guitar i've owned.
