 My Squier 20th Anniversary Butterscotch Blonde Affinity Strat. I love the maple neck. The pots are Fender 250k's and that's a Fender 5-way switch. Pick guard is the 9 dollar cheapie from MF and came with the back cover with aluminum foil. I was a little freaked getting out of the wraper because it was warped. Of course the holes didn't line up, but that was an easy fix. I didn't shield the cavities and instead wrapped the pickups in foil. The body is a three piece and you can clearly tell it on the back, but top is excellant, you have to look really hard at the grain. |

Excellent thread idea, mikesr1963 Here's my (almost) cream coloured 73 Strat. Mostly standard, but with the 'QTB' mod and I added the bridge PU to the middle's tone control  The neck markings (I play in many keys) seem to have disappeared over the years (had it since new)  www.javea24hrs.com/guitar/strat.html |

You should document all the history, adds value IMO. Also, looks like an old friend. |

Okay everyone, there is my "Vintage Amber" guitar so far. Any questions, or comments, please let it fly. I have a bunch of pictures I DIDN'T put on here, if you believe that or not lol, but if I can help anyone with any question, I'll try. This is my first go at a guitar so I may not be much help, but I'll give it my best shot!

Great job so far. Heck, that was definately worth the price of admission.
