Need of modification in strat body?
Though this is an acoustic guitar forum I'm sure that someone can help me with my strat-repair and tell
me if I have to stabilize the milling for the three pickups in my strat body from the "swimming pool" milling to a "normal" 3-chamber one? Here´s the culprit:

The pickguard holds the pickups in place. No need for changing the body for that.
edit. The world is full of strats that have 3 pickups in a "swimming pool" route. Looks as if you might need to reinforce some of the holes for the pickguard screws.

You´re right, I have to do some "refreshing" on the body, not only the pickguard holes
 Here´s the whole "relic" body from the ad:

Two years ago I had stumbled over the pickups for this strat on ebay .
I couldn´t go past the price because the seller had offered them as Fender " Josefina Campos" pickups. Later I found out that they were "Hand Wound Texas Special Pickups wound by Celina Garcia" who is nearly as famous as Josefina Campos. Now they are lying on a shelf in my craft room. I guess they will fit the relict body I got recently for almost no money. I will share a photo when the strat will be finished.
