Topic: NGD- From an old guitar. Only the neck is the same.

A friend of mine took my old red Strat to put new pickups in for me. To say I was amazed was an understatement. It is a MIM Fender Strat with a MIA Ash Body. He took it completely apart, Painted the body, pickguard and installed Texas Specials in place of the original single coils. I think you will be amazed too. Gave it to me yesterday at a cookout.         .       Pictures on FB. Help Fairy, thank you in advance. There`s more than one this time.

A bottle of whiskey slipped into the case.  I am willing to allow for a substitution of whiskey for a breadmaker.
