Grand Canyon on my Zebra Wood Strat

I have a Zebra Wood Strat body I bought around 1977, it is a Schecter body, back when Schecter used to make parts, and what great parts they made too. The bridge, the jack plate and the knob all were bought about the same time, all Schecter parts too. Great stuff.

I got plexi-glass material and made a pickguard. I made this about 11 years ago. I used to have a Beatles picture under the plexi. I recently put a Grand Canyon picture, one of my calandar pictures. It is the North rim of the Grand Canyon with snow in it. I love how the brown and white stripes match the Zebra Wood. You can now buy plexi pickguard material. Mine was originally just a sheet of plexi.


I love this strat. The neck is an All Parts neck, big frets, Fender roller nut with roller string trees. The pickup is a Duncan JB with a volume knob and a single, series, parallel switch. Oh, and the bridge is a non tremelo bridge, strings through the body. No tuning issues here, you can bend the notes like crazy and it always returns to proper tuning. The headstock has a decal that is my name.

Years ago this guitar had three strat pickups, real sweet sounding.
