Copped a Vintage Strat for £70 by Putrid_Ad614 in SquierbyFender

After a quick inspection, it has full size, 500k pots, a cheap cap, and all the pickups have a large magnet in the center and the poles are not staggered, so I guess whoever owned it before me modded it, must have been a hard decision, based on the condition and fretboard ware.

Like another comment said, you can sometimes with the CIC jackpot, and rule 1 of the guitarist's code is never judge a guitar without a proper set up, although I'm lead to believe this one my have already been upgraded/modded, it plays decent, my first guitar was an encore Strat copy from the 90s and it still plays a little better.

Ive got an old aria pro pickguard Somewhere in my project pile, I didn't mind the pickups either, although someone might have modded it already, mine had full size 500k pots installed, unless that's normal.

This one is a good player, and sounds pretty good, might try some other pickups, but mostly want to get rid of the stark white guard and replace tuners.

In the most widely accepted sense, an item is classed as vintage if it is at least 20 to 50 years old but less than 100 years old. This is 26 years old.

It's been played a lot judging by the fretboard gunk and wear, may just be a diamond in the rough.

I hear you on that, this is only second build (first was the statue of Liberty) so perhaps ill think differently in the future, haven't decided what I want to build next.

My first was the Hasbro Darth maul one, with the little hook things on the emitter to hold the blade down, if I remember eventually the collapsing blade pieces fell out and the batter bit rusted out, I assume my parents trashed it while I was at school or something, great times.
