This blog has been created to follow the progress of upgrading my 50s Reissue Fender Stratocaster. When I bought the guitar (used) for £280 it was completely stock. My aim was to spend around a further £400 to turn it into a Strat that could stand up against any out there....It's also proved to be a great learning exercise in guitar DIY. To see what happened and in what order, start at the bottom of the page.
The guitar came with 3 springs in the back, but not being a big trem user I decided I'd rather have sustain and tuning stability over a floating trem. To get this I put in another 2 springs and screwed the claw in a fair amount to get the bridge flat on the body. Total cost of £2.50 per spring. Very pleased with the results, trem-sag is all but gone.
