Paging GrandTurk
Ok, so a little background. I have a USA Peavy Predator $65 into which I stuck a DM pickguard $100 (PAF, MIM single, SuperD). It sounds like Maiden. So I'm under the impression I can slap this pickup combo into any strat and get tat sound.
I have a 1996 MIM strat that is "special" from what I've been able to research, it was the predecesor to the JV strat. It has the wide 2 7/16" vintage trem, vintage tuners, etc. It came loaded with Texas Specials. The routing is H-S-S so I'd have to hack it to get the H-S-H in there. I'm thinking I shouldn't fuck with this guitar because it seems pretty good.
So instead, I'm thinking of piecing together the axe, but I want it Floyded. I'm mainly looking for ideas on which body and neck to go for. I want a thin neck, jumbo frets, Floyd shelf. Should I just get a black charvel USA or MIJ routed for H-S-H and slap the pickups in a call it done, or would you try and piece this together?
