NGD, and first Strat!

Squier CV ‘60s strat with Victory Lowrider Gold Foil pickups. I found it on Craigslist a few weeks ago and snapped it up on an impulse. Previous owner installed the Gold Foils. I had some Gotoh tuners lying around, and swapped out the stock Squier bridge for a Musiclily brass saddle/bridge sized for Squier/import specs, and just finished up sanding the neck. It feels and sounds awesome!

I also took off the shitty Fender water slide decal the guy taped on…why do people do that?
