DAVID GILMOUR STRATOCASTER STRAT CUSTOM WIRED BLACK MAPLE 70'S FENDER SPECS

Description

THIS IS NOT THE FENDER CUSTOM SHOP GILMOUR STRAT. THOSE ARE WAY MORE EXPENSIVE. THIS IS MY IMPRESSION OF HIS 70'S STRAT. IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED BY ME FROM FENDER, FENDER LICENSED AND AFTERMARKET PARTS. THE BODY IS A SOLID ALDER WITH A GLOSS BLACK FINISH. ITS IN GREAT, BUT NOT PERFECT CONDITION. THERE ARE A COUPLE FINISH FLAWS ON THE BODY. IT HAS A GILMOUR STYLE SINGLE PLY BLACK GUARD. THE PICKUPS ARE VINTAGE WOUND, VINTAGE VOICED VINTAGE OUTPUT ALNICO V SINGLE COILS. IF YOURE LOOKING FOR A HIGH GAIN HIGH OUTPUT PICKUP, THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU. IF YOURE LOOKING FOR THE REAL VINTAGE STRAT TONE, YOU'LL LOVE THESE. IVE INCLUDED A CUSTOMERS REVIEW OF THE PICKUPS. IT IS CURRENTLY SET UP WITH 9-42 STRINGS. BUT FOR , ILL SET IT UP WITH WHATEVER YOU WANT.
THE WIRING IS AS FOLLOWS: THE REAR TONE POT IS A 250K PUSH/PULL POT. WHEN PULLED IN POSITION 1 OR 5, IT WILL RUN THE BRIDGE PICKUP OR NECK PICKUP IN SERIES (HUMBUCKER STYLE) WITH THE MIDDLE PICKUP. THIS GIVES YOU A THICK, WARM FULL TONE WITH A 25% INCREASE IN VOLUME AND HUM CANCELLING. WHEN THE MIDDLE TONE POT IS A 250K PULL POT THAT WILL ADD THE NECK PICKUP IN ANY POSITION OF THE 5 WAY SWITCH. SO YOU CAN USE THE BRIDGE AND NECK TOGETHER OR ALL 3 PICKUPS TOGETHER IN PARALLEL. WHEN THE PULL POTS ARE DOWN, ITS ALL STANDARD STRAT CONTROLS. WITH THE 2 PULL POTS AND 5 WAY SWITCH, YOU CAN GET 10 DIFFERENT PICKUP TONES. THE VOLUME POT IS A FENDER STANDARD CTS 250K. THE 5 WAY SWITCH IS A FENDER AMERICAN 5 WAY.
THE NECK IS MAPLE WITH A MEDIUM C PROFILE AND A 1.65 NUT AND 70'S STYLE BIG HEADSTOCK. IT HAS A 9.5 INCH RADIUS WITH 21 MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS. IT NECK HAS A SATIN FINISH. SO IT IS SILKY SMOOTH. THE 70'S WATER SLIDE LOGO WAS APPLIED, COVERED WITH 5 COATS OF CLEAR SATIN POLY AND LIGHTLY WET SANDED OVER. UP CLOSE AT THE RIGHT ANGLE, YOU CAN SEE THAT ITS A WATER SLIDE. FROM MORE THAN A COUPLE FEET, IT LOOKS AWESOME. I TOOK THE PICTURES IN BRIGHT LIGHT UP CLOSE TO SHOW.
