No but seriously, I've owned a few Toyotas and they can be amazing vehicles, especially when the mileage gets up there. It's too bad about that accelerator thing.

My rear brake caliper went when I was on the motorway once, kept me on my toes, if it were the front that would've been bad.

Plus my Gibson just sounds great for metal and stuff and the Dimarzios are geared towards Muse, Pumpkins stuff that I'm not playing at the moment.

So yea, will probably put them back in. I am also thinking about the Texas Specials or Texas Hot. I'll keep the lil 59' though. It's rocking. Thoughts?

Did SRV use the stock pickups? I could Google it yea, but it's a conversation piece

The lil' 59' is probably my favorite Stratbucker. I'd keep that in there if you're going to be using it for some 90's Alt as well as what you mentioned earlier. That stock pup in the Neck should be enough to hit the sound you want. Playing SRV and Hendrix is more how you play than what, anyway.

.. finding mexi strats with good fretwork took me awhile, it took like 6 7 of them before I found one that didn't have sharp edges from the frets sticking out the side of the neck.. any of the lower grade squires aren't any better then your yamaha

My next guitar will probably be a squier cv 50's strat
