Do we have a 'show us your JV strat' thread?

Now there is

I tinted the p/u covers & knobs and replaced the shitty single 8 hole pickguard with a 3 ply 11. The neck p/u is a Alnico II Pro




Disclaimer: can't stand jimmy ray vaughn but his sig strat is fookin killer.

I've got a white one

With aged white covers and knobs and a parchment pickguard loaded with Chubtone reverse stagger pickups.

How did you tint the cover and knobs? Tea? Coffee?

True. But my attention span isn't what it used to be.

Boil a small saucepan water, add 5-6 tea bags (that lipton shit is great) let the bags sit for 5 minutes or so. Put the parts in the water when it's still hot (barely finger touch temp) and in about 10 minutes your done.

Only works on genuine fender parts. On the aftermarket, nada. Zip. Zero. Left my Rio Grande covers in tea overnite. Zip. Zero.

Fender...no problem. Must be a different make up.

Okay, of all the Fender cults, the JV one should make sense to just about anyone. Find a nice one, and hot rod the electronics, pickguards, whatever... Personally, I've played a few these, and I like the pickups! If I didn't have my strat shaped soulmate, I'd own a nice one of these in a heartbeat...
