Thanks for looking!


Major upgrades and details listed below.



Here are the mods:
-Made it into a SSS configuration with Seymour Duncan SSL-4 Quarter Pound Strat Calibrated Set of 3

-Replaced the pickguard with black Fender original

-Replaced internal wiring with the Mojotone Solderless Strat Blender Wiring Harness

-Replaced the tuners with GraphTech Ratio Locking Machine Heads 6 in-line (staggered posts) in Black Finish

-Strategically placed 2 GraphTech Black TUSQ String Tree

-Replaced the back neck plate with all black for sleek look

-Replaced tremolo bridge with Babicz FCH-2 Point Trem, Narrow, Original Series

-Replaced tremolo block with my go to AxLabs Tone Claw 

The body gloss finish was already "steel wooled" to a satin finish which I like a lot. The headstock had some ugly varnish added to it which I sanded down. The front brand is gone which gives this guitar a bit of mystery...(The original NJ signature is still in the back of the headstock.)

The neck is immensely comfortable, with that feeling of years of playing without the wear. The pickups are extremely expressive with powerful bass and mids, and creamy treble which gives those single coil a very UNIQUE character. They are also DEAD QUIET through the Mojotone wiring! The Babicz floating tremolo is immensely flexible and stays in tune in combination with the staggered locking tuners. Strings are brand-new and my favorite Roto Pinks 9-42


The blue color varies a lot depending on lighting. It is closer to the first photo in the case than the close-ups.
