Pickgaurd and pick change on strat deluxe

[Kidkramer71]

So I inherited a 2010 mim strat deluxe with gold hardware tortoise shell pickgaurd and noiseless pickups.
I love the guitar has a really nice feel and plays nice.
I'm not really a single coil guy so I decided to change that.
While I was at it I decided the tortoise shell had to go.
So I ordered a gold mirror pickgaurd, new pots and 5 way switch, 3 dimarzio stack humbuckers.
Bridge is an SD 1
Middle area 67
Neck the cruiser
I'm really pleased with it all the way around !
The cruiser is absolutely sweet!
It is so buttery and nice .
I would highly recommend the cruiser for the neck.
I tried it because Andy Timmons uses it and his tone always bring it !
Here are a couple before and after pics.

I could rock it either way but I agree on the singles. I like a little more heat especially on the bridge pickup. Gigged a MIM strat for years with Dimarzio Virtual Vintage stacked singles. Overall a nice transition!

Building that to what you want is worth it. Can't even imagine how crazy the guitar will sound. Very nice.
