That's what they say about stocks and bonds, but ALL USA Strats eventually appreciate in value over time- some just longer time than others.

Money in the bank, son.

k , I'm going to go the cheap route and it might work, get some better lube for my nuts...nut... and get a new pg and put some texas specials for some mean SRV blues tone Now what color pg, my friend says black pearloid pg and aged pickups on my fender (black with rosewood and has aged pg and pups right now) At pickgaurd paradise I like their steel pearl pg. But also I was looking at the white and black swirl what do you guys say?

swirl- http://www.pickguardparadise.com/ima...W00011_lrg.jpg
Black Pearloid - http://www.tonyrio.com/images/Hardta.../HTG%20512.jpg

(I think steel, swirl seems overkill and black pearloid has kinda not been appealing after the 555)

use one pair for the ground wire and another pair for the input jack, and you're in business. As Long as the connections are nice and tight, you shouldn't experience any noise or loss of sound.

nice, I wanted to make my pickups in my Ibanez with things like these so I can swap em faster If I want different pickups for a month or something but i didnt know they existed

If you're thinking about putting a new PG, I'd say get an original Fender pickguard. They're guaranteed to fit the strat and it will look original whereas the pg's you listed don't impress me too much, IMO.

This is the fender description:

0992141000 Standard Stratocaster® (11 Hole) Pickguard
Black Pearl, 4-Ply, 11 Hole Pickguard,
For 3 single coil pickups
Fits:
American, American Standard, Hot Rod and Deluxe Series Stratocasters (USA)
Standard, Deluxe and '70s Stratocasters (Mexico)
