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.

That looks like some console out of Thunderbirds..... you need to have a freak gold smelting accident now.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: Goldmember
Gold trem, tuners, and jack plate will complete the goldness. That would be achievement unlocked.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Nice, needs gold knobs though !
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

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...

Need sound clips please Ben.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

My H671 Harmony has the original DeArmond gold foil single coils that are humbucker size.
They sound great.
