I'm planning to change one of the pickups (the strips under the strings with the six dots in a line for you non guitar people), and make it a worthy instrument, although for the price it is phenominal.
Tho your comment made me laugh, considering my other one (you may have seen it, shiny, blue, curvy) is 16 years old, with barely a scratch on it!

One of my friends who plays in a local band has a 70's Strat he won't tell me how much it cost
