Darren's Black, Texas special equipped, Chinese Squire Stratocaster has been at the clinic for the passed few weeks, undergoing a selector switch transplant from the pickguard of my old deceased Mexican Strat. Also an attempt was made to add some electrical shielding. I thought there might be some kind of ethnic mismatch at first. It seemed that it might reject the organ, but further investigation revealed the problems to be related to the shielding project. You can expect the Black Strat (pictured above with one test string installed) to be back in action, a week from Saturday, Nov. 1 at Cobetto's Tap. See you then. O.P.
