This is a big one. I think I’ll just do a list in this case:
-Re-fret.
-Neck carved and radius changed to 16″ refinished with satin lacquer.
-New bridge/trem installed.
-New loaded scratched plate installed and appropriately routed.
-New locking tuners.
-New bone nut.
Long story short; all Strats are not the same and sometimes you need to do a lot of fiddling to get everything to go where it should.
