Great looking Strat, Dave! I'm really glad to see that this worked out for you!

Thanks! Played a third gig this past weekend. I'm liking it bigtime!

I do need to dial in the strings. Past two gigs were DR DDT .011-.054. First gig was cobbled together.

I'm going to try EB .011-.048 next, with some .011-.052 D'Addario's on order.

I've about decided that a .014 is where my B string needs to be and probably an .018 plain for the G.

The wound strings are just a matter of seeing what works best when I'm pounding chords. The .048 probably will be too light, but I'm going to give it shot since I have the strings now (cheap off ebay and the odd size strings always go into my pedal steel backup bag.).
