I got myself a Mexican Fender Strat with a reversed headstock

[Blazer]

The winner of four similar guitars I tried, in the Musicstore in Cologne, it has a lovely neck and a really lively acoustic sound.

However, I'm not really that charmed with the reverse bridge pickup and the rather flimsy looking pickguard.


So I'm going to replace that pickguard with a Black one but I'm still not really sure about adding a Humbucker while I'm at it.

I'd prefer to leave it like that, I like the reverse bridge pickup, it gives some snap to the wound low strings and softens a bit the plain thin ones. Think Hendrix!

I think it's called Voodoo Strat. Supposed to give you the Hendrix vibe without an upside-down body. I'd keep it original but it's your guitar so do what works for you.

cool one!

Here's the way it looks now, the end result looks more "David Gilmour" than "Jimi Hendrix" and I'm fine with that.

Actually, more Joe Perry than Gilmour.
