Restoration complete…Sort of. This is a 72 Reissue Fender Stratocaster. It was made in Japan between 1984 and 1987. I tried a full restoration, but have been hampered by the pickups I ordered for it being lost in transit. These things can take a while to sort out so I used a couple of non genuine pickups I had lying around and the hum bucking pick up that was in it when I got it. I must say it sounds great, I may leave it the way it is for now. I do feel sorry of my mate Phil though. I got the guitar from him. The deal was I got the Strat and I’d get him a new Telecaster in place of it. How ever the pick ups were in the same parcel as the guitar, so it’s “lost” too! The dealer I bought it from assured me I’d get my guitar, but I still feel bad for Phil. I’ll have to get a new hobby! I’ve now got nine guitars and one 75% finished, and that’s not counting the three belonging to the kids or the four I’ve given away…I guess there is such a thing as having too much fun.
