I'm parting out another of my Strats... the neck has already sold so....
Set of three GFS Grey Bobbin late 60s style A5 Strat pickups. The pickups sound *AWESOME* - think Hendrix/Robin Trower. Big, yet crisp and biting. They have seen off many 'boutique' pickups. These were the handwound range, not their cheapies - as you can see from the handwriting on the bottoms of them. I'm keeping the 5-way switch (sorry, the one in my black Silver Series has just packed up).

Body, believed Tokai (thats what I was told when I bought it), in a
relic finish Lake Placid Blue. Its over the top of a yellow coat (the
80s weren't a good time for guitars) and that is over the original two
tone sunburst - you can see that under the pickguard, as I once upon a
time I was going to take it back to the original finish but got bored
after doing that amount.
Its also had a few different bridges over
the years - the last being a Callaham one (see below) but as you can see
its had a two post on there at some point and its been dowelled. TBH, I
never ran the outer two screws in the Callaham as I wasn't happy with
the alignment of the redrilled holes (not my work). Its been like that
for eight or so years and previous to that with the Fender bridge I had
on there before that. Its worked for me... but you may want to fix that
yourself. Not really needed, IMHO.
It comes with strap buttons, trem claw and the output socket assembly.
Its
a fantastic sounding body - there's a reason its a natural relic, its
been played a lot because it sounds ace. I'm only selling it as I've got
too many Strats and I really don't need it any more - even though its
been in my home studio (and gigged) for the past 10 years.

Callaham
Vintage Strat Trem - this is the US spacing one and comes with the arm
(standard 6in). It comes with four of the mounting screws (see above -
but if I can find the other two I'll pop them in the parcel), and three
springs (Callaham). It has the nylon sleeve in the cold rolled steel
block that eliminates slop and has the anti-rust, high quality thick
'CG' branded saddles. Its the Rolls Royce of vintage trem systems - look
up how much they cost *complete*. Theres a bit of dust, a little
yellowing of the trem arm tip from use but otherwise its mint and ready
to go again.
£100 delivered. SOLD
Never Ever Bloody Anything Ever.
Comments
(I need a replacement vintage trem which I believe is 56mm screw width, 56mm string spacing and 11.3mm saddles.)

fwiw it’s standard US vintage sizing
VERY nice sound - think Hendrix, Trower, Gilmour (neck n middle).
Cheap for the sound quality.
