For the last couple of weeks I've had massive GAS for a USA Strat with Lace Sensors. So I go into my regular guitar shop and what do I see?....

Before anyone says it, I wish it had a maple board too, and ugly pickguard is ugly :lol:
But for the price I paid and the fact that it's come with Lace Sensor Crome Domes, I
really can't complain! :shrug:

Just stuck some Elixirs on it and I love this thing :wub: It plays great and the Lace Sensors are just what I wanted! Perfect
stratty tones but a little hotter than standard.
I'm planning on getting some Sperzel locking tuners and a White pearled pickguard.
I might also get a Fender roller nut like on the Deluxes.
I hadn't had a NGD in a year and a half, but this one was worth waiting for.
PS. Sorry for the stupid screen shot photos
but my PC is down at the minute so this was the only way to get pictures.

Edit: Shit, wrong part of the forum! Can someone move this for me? Thanks.

1. Any NSD (New Strat Day) is a good day!

2. I like it like that. And I enjoy rosewood fretboards (although I like maple, too.)

Congrats. Everyone needs a good strat.

It's The Nemesis.

That is begging for a mirror pickguard.

Ooh! Indeed!

l dont really see that happening, im getting rid of the chrome style knobs and want a white pearloid scrathplate. IMO it would look too gaudy with a mirror plate.

 

[Toshiro]

Dunno about chrome pickups on white pearl, but it's your guitar. Normally I wouldn't like mirror either, I think it would make the guitar look consistent and cool in this case.

I actually like the pickups with that pickguard. :lol:

Nice! What "color" Sensor are the Chrome Domes?

 

[Joel]

The chrome domes are the name of the pickup, they are their own model.

Ahh, cool. :yesway:

 

[technomancer]

Nice score :yesway: Personally I'd probably go for a black or black pearl guard instead of white pearl on that :2cents:

Ah, that's actually a really cool idea, black pearl. I think the pickguard's ok as it is for now, but black pearl would be an improvement! The first change will be the sperzels.

Juicy, nice score! :metal:

 

[James]

Nice :yesway: Necks are easy to swap on Strats if you do really want that maple board

True true, but it plays so nicely at the minute that I don't want to mess with it (I'm crap with tech stuff).

Here's one vote for rosewood boards on Strats. Love 'em that way.

I like it as is, Congrats

Black pearl would be great. Nice score, thats a good looking strat.
