So, I really want a Fender Stratocaster, and I have the option to have it relic-ed a la John Mayer's
Black Relic strat. But I have several questions I would like to have answered:
1) I initially wanted it based off of an American Standard because of the overall better quality but now considering that most of the hardware parts will be change shouldn't I just do it off of a Highway 1?
2) The guy who's going to do the work for me suggested Lollar Special S pickups, should I get them instead of the stock pickups?
I do play guitar very well, IMHO, but I'm not big on the technical aspects of the guitar and would love some input on this.
To whomever posts, thank you for your time.
