There's a couple colors that Fender only used on a few Strat Plus models in the 90's (91 and 96, I think). One is reverse metallic blueburst and the other is reverse metallic silverburst, where both are darker in the middle, and get misty towards the edges. The only problem is that they only came on Strat Plusses with the pesky metal nut. So, I've always swapped out the neck for a new American Series strat neck. The blueburst one many of you have seen already, complete with the engine turned guard, Jazz B/2 Surfers, and Stringsavers on only the plain strings. I just won this Ebay auction for $119, and will finish it with all American parts in about a month. This one will get the black engine turned Custom Shop guard, and Twangbanger/2 Surfers. I'll have 2 reverse metallic strats! I can tell just by seeing the back it's gonna be badass!!

Had me a deluxe strat plus in the BlueBurst (with the roller nut and the lace sensors)

I loved that guitar. Put a JB in the bridge, and it had a gold in the middle IIRC (I don't use the middle pup on strat really) and a blue (PAF-ish) for the neck. Very versatile. Great Player.

Congrats bro!

Wow, jackpot again!

Yeah, you don't see many auctions for a US Fender reverse metallic silverburst body!

If any of you have US Fender parts ie. bridge, input jack, tuners etc, PM me.

I'm gonna be pretty picky about the neck, and will most likely get a 2001 American Series neck in rosewood.

I think I paid a total of $650 for my blue strat, and this silver one has started out fairly cheap, so I'll probably have a total of $550 into it when it's done.

120 bucks?!

That's crazy!! Insane deal dude, that's gonna be hot when you're done.

You have good taste, Joe. That is a badass looking guitar!

1!

That body looks awesome. I've seen some of those burst Strat bodies on ebay, and whenever I do, it makes me want to buy parts and assemble a strat.

very nice. what color hardware and guard are you going to go with?

And I would guess chrome hardware, though that would just be my preference...

Nice score, great color fade. Yup, sure looks like an old Duncan...yo-yo that is.

THAT'S A STEAL JOE!!! that thing looks so slick!!! very HOTTTT!!!

That color is awesome. I can't wait to see the finished product.

needs a scalloped heel

apart of that... nice score. like the blue one better, but wouldnt really say no to it

scalloped heel? Do you mean contoured heel?

Anyway GJ, that is sexay! I have some American Standard bridge saddles if you want 'em, but I'd recommend Graphtec saddles instead.

Curly - for some reason, those paint jobs remind me of old Duncan YoYos

Butnut - Nice score, great color fade. Yup, sure looks like an old Duncan...yo-yo that is

I think you guys just named my set of strats......quot;The Duncan Yo-Yo's!quot;
Because they're loaded with the best Duncans....yo yo.

Nice score man, I can't wait to see how it looks when it's finished.
