Spotted this on Trademe and thought, now that's a strat I could like! I know the seller so managed to do a deal outside of trademe too.

It's a Fender Classic 60s Strat in Shoreline GOLD, with Mojo Pickups GOLDfoils mounted in a GOLD pick guard, with GOLD pick guard screws.

Nice bit of beatupness

The pickups sound monstrously good.

It came with the original pickups and hardware too, so if I don't get on with the trem, I plan to keep the Goldfoils and sell it in its original configuration. So far, I really like it though.

Gold trem, tuners, and jack plate will complete the goldness. That would be achievement unlocked.

That's pretty damn cool! I remember hearing gold foils in a strat on youtube, I think it was a GFS set. They sound fantastic! Have you seen this by any chance? http://tonefiend.com/guitar/gold_foil_weirdness/ - not sure if that concerns you in your genre though...

Just had a look - interesting.
My H671 Harmony has the original DeArmond gold foil single coils that are humbucker size.
They sound great.
