Fender Stratocaster USA 2004 (Road Worn) Complete Overhaul & Upgrade

Fender Stratocaster USA 2004 (Road Worn) Complete Overhaul & Upgrade

The guitar was purchased very cheaply because it was in a mess and has had a hard life gigging. Its a real road worn Stratocaster and not a pretend model.

Fretboard was very worn and the frets were in a real state. One good point was someone had installed Seymour Duncan Everything Axe Pickups, which were removed to sell.

Breakdown of project:

  • Complete Strip Down.
  • Clean and Polish.
  • Fretboard Radius changed to 12.
  • Fretboard Re-fretted with Vintage Stratocaster style fret wire.
  • Frets Levelled, Crown and Polish.
  • Oil and Clean Fretboard.
  • Fender Locking Machine Heads.
  • Fender Custom Shop 54 Pickups.
  • Fender Neck plate.
  • AxeKool Stratocaster Vintage Wiring Harness.
  • Fender Locking Strap Buttons.
  • Ernie Ball 9’s Strings.
  • Full Setup.

The Stratocaster plays and sounds amazing, it really is such a nice guitar!
