DAVID GILMOUR STRATOCASTER STRAT CUSTOM WIRED BLACK 1 PIECE MAPLE FENDER SPECS

Description

PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST IF YOU’RE INTERESTED IN THE GUITAR. I HAVE INCLUDED RECENT GILMOUR BUILD FEEDBACKS AS WELL AS A CUSTOMERS REVIEW OF THE PICKUPS.
THIS IS NOT THE FENDER CUSTOM SHOP GILMOUR STRAT. THOSE ARE WAY MORE EXPENSIVE. THIS IS MY IMPRESSION OF HIS STRAT. IT IS COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED BY ME FROM FENDER, FENDER LICENSED AND AFTERMARKET PARTS. I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING A GLOSS BLACK BODY. BUT IT ACTUALLY HAS A METALLIC BLACK FINISH THET LOOKS REALLY COOL. THE BODY IS A SOLID ALDER. ITS IN EXCELLENT, BUT NOT PERFECT CONDITION. THERE ARE A COUPLE MINOR BLEMISHES 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. I ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY SOUNDED LIKE THE FENDER FAT 50’S. BUT IVE INCLUDED A CUSTOMERS REVIEW OF THE PICKUPS. IT IS CURRENTLY SET UP WITH 9-42 STRINGS. BUT FOR MORE I WILL 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 A 1 PIECE MAPLE WITH A MODERN THIN C PROFILE AND A 1.65 NUT. THE FRETBOARD HAS A VERY COMFORTABLE 9.5 INCH RADIUS WITH 21 MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS. IT NECK HAS A SATIN FINISH. SO IT IS SILKY SMOOTH. THE FENDER 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.
