 If you like Stevie Ray's Sound-You'll love these HOT Vintage Pick ups with vintage style magnets!  These Custom Stratocaster Vintage HOT SRV Pick ups added give it a Stevie Ray signature sound in any amp! 1952 – Ceramic Magnets Were Introduced by:J.J. Went, G.W. Rathenan, E.W. Gorter, and G.W. Van Oosterhout from the Phillips CompanyThey developed the first commercial ceramic magnets based on barium, strontium, and lead-iron oxides.
Ceramic magnets are completely neutral and add no coloration to the tone.
They are great magnets for high output applications. 
Ceramic work great for crunch and distortion. The SRV pickups in this guitar contain ceramics and are high output pickups that
deliver all the aggression you need and can be used from blues to jazz to metal. 
Non-metallic magnets such as the ceramic variety do not change the inductance of a pickup coil.
The tone of these  pickups is often described as “aggressive” with
moderate to high output which can overdrive an amplifier. 
Ceramic magnets have lower force on the strings than alnico magnets. Very strong magnets (typically the alnico magnets) exert a
strong pull on the strings of the instrument and 
can reduce sustain and pull strings,"out of tune"These Custom Stratocaster Vintage HOT SRV Pickups added give it a Stevie Ray signature sound in any amp!

The Tremolo andLow-Low Action Set-Up!The Tremolo is Decked.
The electric guitar ‘Floating” tremolo or  "trem"  bridge is only Decked when the screws are tightened
under the tremolo cover plate in the back of the guitar body. Reasons to deck: 

1- Better tuning stability
               2-Lower action can be achieved                3-Consistent action everywhere              If done properly the springs will be so tight that the tremolo will not move thereby rendering it blocked.
 The re-sale value is much better if you don’t physically change anything that can’t be reversed since lots of players still want a trem or whammy bar on their guitars. Fortunately there is another benefit.
There is more sustain without the floating tremolo. If it’s blocked and it stays in perfect tune and it’s not permanent or invasive to your instrument and it’s completely reversible-then 
what’s not to like about that?
        The neck is a Custom Maple Neck with a great feel and Tone a width of 1-11/16" at the nut and a "C" Thin profile.
The fast 9.5" radius playing surface is very comfortable.    With a Haywire professional set-up already completed on this guitar, it plays exceptionally well You'll be pleasantly surprised!
It has a great feel for your fingers and/or slide playing. It is as factory fresh as they come with NEW dressed and leveled frets. The resonance is great on this guitar
The fingerboard, or playing surface of the guitar neck, is usually curved or radiused across its width. The purpose of this radius is to accommodate the natural ergonomic shape of your fingers when they are in playing position. Comfort is certainly a major factor in selecting a fingerboard radius but it is not the only factor. Musical Style... the fingerboard radius must also allow you to play the style of music you prefer.      This is a Light Custom Shop SRV Special... Our new Light weight solid Stratocaster classic guitar is very sweet!  It is a very "live" sounding body. Light-weight bodies to help you when you're playing all night long, because it's easier on the back and shoulder muscles. The pick-guard is a heavy 3 ply "White"  All controls and pots, switches are new with **NEW Hardware**. The SRV pick ups are built for tone and longevity. They are slightly hotter than stock.They are similar to Fender stock pick ups but wound hotter for better sustain and they are quiet. For our European Players-These Pick Ups are RoHS Compliant.They have staggered Vintage pole pieces for vintage tone.

WHAT IS A GUITAR CUSTOM SHOP?  It occurred to us that guitar players really have very little understanding of the scope and purpose of a custom guitar shop. We discovered this quite accidentally by listening closely to some of the questions received over the last few years. For example, one question that still comes up often is, “Nice guitar-but how does it play"?  That question always puzzles us. Why?  Because it is our job as a #Custom Guitar Shop to simply make the #guitar play -how the player wants it to play. That is as good as it gets but guitar players are so accustomed to traveling from store to store looking for the right instrument rather than just making a decision then turning it over to us to make it right. A custom guitar facility is a smarter way to get what you need because we are the experts. It's not a players responsibility to get the guitar right-it's ours. After we make the necessary adjustments, tweaks, intonation checks, action and electronics changes, neck modifications and proper string adjustments-you have a great playing guitar that plays EXACTLY how you need it to play as a guitarist.

We Ship World Wide!Haywire Custom Guitars 8-point gig ready guitar process...1. The 4-axis Alignment of the guitar neck. Each guitar neck is checked and adjusted to insure that it is true and straight to insure proper alignment on all axis. This step insures proper action and allows for more accurate and easier guitar tuning, playing and set-up in the following steps. 
2. Inspect and Lube the guitar tuning gears. Before installing the guitar tuning gears, each one is checked thoroughly. Each tuning gear is adjusted-there is no play in the mechanism. They are then lubricated to insure smooth and even movement to make your guitar tune accurately.                   
3. Potting the guitar pickups-We dip the pickups in hot wax to reduce squeal and unwanted guitar feedback 
4. Prep the guitar body-Before installing the guitar electronic components, great care is taken to insure that all wires are properly routed, spaced, and grounded to insure years of trouble free service with your guitar 5. Level and polish the frets-This insures that all of the guitar frets are level, eliminating any possibility of fret buzz due to unevenness. 
6. Radius the guitar strings-Most guitar necks have a contour over the top of the neck. We adjust the strings to make sure that height of each string follows the contour of the guitar neck.7. Adjusting the overall guitar string height and the action.Once we set the contour and radius of the guitar strings, then to adjust the overall height of the strings from the top of the frets to the bottom of the strings. 
8. Set the guitar intonation-This step is done twice. The intonation is set two times with a 24 hour seat-in period in between to allow the guitar to properly re-seat to the new adjustments. 
Haywire Custom Guitars is a unique Custom Shop of craftsman where we modify guitars from many manufacturers. We alter instruments to individual or personal specifications and offer the resulting upgraded instruments for sale. We are not a Gibson, Epiphone, Washburn, Wilkinson, Parker, Carvin, BC Rich USA, Jackson, PRS, Ernie Ball, Warmoth or Fender dealer nor are we affiliated with any of these companies. We do however buy used guitars from various manufacturers, new and used instruments from private individuals that we re-build, re-shape, re-sand, re-finish, re-top and customize ourselves for customers upon request. We upgrade electronics, necks, hardware and finishes and offer the finished products for sale. While there are no manufacturer warranties on the instruments we sell. We do however offer our own warranty for one year on our hand crafted finished products and craftsmanship on our finishing, customization and 8 point "Gig Ready" Haywire set-up processes.

Products offered via the Website are subject solely to their manufacturer's limited warranty, without additional warranty from Haywire Custom Guitars, and are protected by a variety of patents and trademarks. The guitars we specialize in rebuilding, changing, refurbishing and setting up are instruments with replaceable necks and bodies because we have more requests to add, change and modify these instruments more than any others. We do not build Fender guitars we add value to them in our "8 Point Gig Ready Process" or other modifications requested by our customers from time to time. We do however, replace and upgrade parts as required. We buy guitars from ALL manufacturers used and new and alter and modify them. As noted above several examples include: Gibson, PRS, Jackson, Bigsby®, G&L, The Bigsby® mark and Bigsby tailpiece designs are registered trademarks of Fred W.

We buy guitars that are distressed and bring them back to a playable state and offer the resulting instrument for sale. We do not and will not copy or build knock -off products of other companies. We do not do anything that would dilute the brand of these manufacturers. The guitars simply leave circulation for a while for upgrading, neck straightening fret leveling and/or replacement, neck replacement, pick up replacement, refinishing, hardware replacement , a set up then re-enter circulation as a better and renewed instrument. We re-furbish, replace, renew, refinish and otherwise repair the guitars we purchase from manufacturers or private individuals for repair and/or restoration by adding new bodies and necks etc. You may also visit our eBay store. Calling or emailing us directly about a purchase of an item stocked in our eBay store constitutes doing business from our website. That purchase is subject to our rules and not eBay rules. However, please be aware that asking to purchase an item "off eBay" may constitute a contract breach with eBay. We want to maintain a good and honest relationship with eBay, compliance with eBay policies and integrity with all whom we do business. Therefore, in the event that occurs, we reserve the right to use a "substitute item".

Last point we'd like to make is; sometimes it is difficult to determine the origin of a part however we try our best to buy carefully and check the parts but if they have no serial numbers it can perhaps in some cases be impossible. Since we do not manufacture signature brand items we rely on the descriptions provided by our suppliers. Sometimes things may get by us or were not identified properly by a seller or supplier. In some situations it can be beyond our control but be aware we stand with our customers to make sure they are happy and satisfied with either the purchase or return and make it right to their satisfaction. We will be glad to refund any money for mistakes that can occur occasionally under those circumstances. We will not knowing sell the wrong products or parts. Returns will not be accepted however on guitars tampered with, opened, changed, modified, liquids spilled on and otherwise missing parts or purchased simply for perusal by competitors to disassemble and return. With prior approval and acceptance of item, returns must be sent immediately within the policy period for returns and specified days in listing. We are selling our set up skills, modification skills, our ability to identify which parts make the best fit, action set, finishing skills, restoration and design skills, and honor the custom requests from individuals who have their own guitars they would like modified. The photos on The Haywire Custom Guitars website are taken by us and are all types of guitars that have passed through the Haywire Custom shop at one time or another for service and/or modification as requested by the original owner or as determined to be necessary to bring the instrument up to an extremely comfortable and playable state as well as intoned as necessary.

One of the main functions of a Custom Guitar Shop should be to hit the target the first time by building as close to a perfect instrument as possible!

At Haywire our aim is getting better every day! The job is only complete when you are completely happy with your guitar because you'll use it every day. It needs to be comfortable and light-weight enough to play for hours at a time in any situation without fatigue.The sound has to be clear and tone-great. It has to be built to withstand the rigors of being on the road whether touring or playing in local venues. It has to feel good to you when you play it.

The action and feel need to be consistent all the way down the neck so you won't be forced to alter your playing technique as you travel around on the fret board. A guitar players instrument needs to be in tune on every fret so we pay careful attention to the intonation settings.
It has to look good for you and represent your sense of style. The finish has to last for a long time to protect the wood from absorbing moisture from the atmosphere as well as sweat from direct contact with hard working hands.The neck needs to have a truss rod that is easy to adjust for seasonal variations in temperature as well as the ability to transmit sound and add extra sustain for players. Strings added need to be a comfortable gauge without too much resistance thus making it easier to push down to the crown of the frets. These are just some of the things that we think about every day to make sure we get it exactly right for guitar players who need a great instrument for their passion-PLAYING GUITAR!! We're building satisfied players..... One Haywire Guitar at a time!!
