UPGRADING DIY STRATOCASTER KIT- INSTALLING TRANSPARENT PICKGUARD STRATOCASTER

Описание: I built this Saga stratocaster guitar kit several years ago but I never quite liked the result so I decided to upgrade the tuners to locking tuners, install new wiring and electronics along with noiseless pickups, new tremolo bridge, and strap locks but I figured what's the point if you can't see these features so I used a transparent pickguard and transparent tremolo cover.
