This is a Pro Player 2016 Fender Elite Super Stratocaster. As you may know by now we take brand new Fender Stratocasters and remove all the junk electronics and hardware that Fender put's on their guitars and replace the components with best in class electronics and hardware available on the planet.On this guitar we started with a 2016 Fender American Elite Stratocaster. We really like the C to D neck profile on the Elite, however,the S1 series 4 pickup system is pure garbage (see photo). the wiring is real shoddy and the components are very poorly made. So we installed the much praised and very rare David Allen tru62's they are hand wound and they are no longer available. These are the same pickups that Joe Knaggs likes to use in his Tier 1 guitars that cost over $6000, along with Bourne 500 pots with push/push tone control and soldered everything by hand. We only used Gavett shielded wiring and installed a .047 capacitor for a rich bottom end. (see photo) As you can clearly see in the photos our setup is superior and much cleaner to what Fender is now selling, however, Fender once built their guitars this way, but they are now more concerned in corporate profits than delivering this kind of quality. We didn't stop there. We removed the Fender 2 point tremolo system and installed the award winning Babicz Full contact hardware tremolo system and set it up to be full floating. We removed the Fender nut and installed a TUSQ XL nut for smooth string sliding. Then we removed the 16:1 Fender machine heads and installed Shaller Locking 18;1 Machine heads with pearloid tips. We also used a pearloid pick guard and back plate for beautiful appearance. With this guitar and setup you will be able to get the true bell sound that we all want with a Strat and you will have all the quack you desire and the guitar has very low action and stay's in perfect tune even after extended use of the tremolo. This is the configuration that many Pro's use on the big stages around the world.If you currently own a Fender and can't get the sound like the big name act's it because they have had these type of modifications done to their guitars and the only way to obtain that sound is to own a guitar like this. Even the Fender Custom Shop cannot deliver you this quality, because they have to use Fender components and honestly it's garbage. If you could buy this guitar from the FCS they would charge you a small fortune and you can own this Super Strat for a fraction of the price and have the worlds best components all in one guitar that plays awesome.This is a guitar that the minute you plug it in and play your first note you know you have made a wise decision. It's also is a one of a kind guitar and you won't see another one like it anywhere! It will make your Strat playing friends jealous, you play and sound better and your audience scream for more! I have many references of pro players who use my guitars. Send me a reply and I will send you references. Many of my customers who bought a guitar from us have bought another and or referred a friend . That's how we know we are doing it right. Thanks for all your support!See my other listing's for more Super Strats.P.S. If you have access to any of the rare David Allen tru62 pickups we are a buyer and willing to pay top dollar, however they must be new in the box. Please contact me if you have them available.See Joe Knaggs Tier 1 guitar listed on eBay below using David Allen tru62's. They are the best boutique single coil pickups made period and that is why he uses them on his very expensive Tier 1 guitars! If you want the incredible tru62s tones and don't want to pay $6000 well this guitar could be for you. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-KNAGGS-TIER-1-SEVERN-ELECTRIC-GUITAR-BOUTIQUE-STRAT-PUPS-BLUE-WICKEDBURST-/380970748358?hash=item58b3a049c6:g:1FQAAOSwVFlT5Ts8
