#stratocaster #strats
What can you do if vintage or custom shop strats are not an option? That's right. You can start a massive 10-year-long modding project with your existing strat. Haha! I got really lucky, mine turned out really well. Here's the full story of my sunburst beauty.

** Why the "Includes paid promotion" message? **
According to german laws everyone has to mark their videos as advertisements as soon as there's a single "subject relevant" product, tag or link in it. Even if you didn't get paid for making that video. Sounds confusing and it really doesn't help the viewer to see which is a paid review and which isn't.
--- The line of truth: Is this actually a paid review? No it isn't, but I use affiliate links. (I update this line for every video).
