Well, guys, I saw this thread and thought, "Goddamn, I really want an American strat." And then I remembered that I have one! I bought it twenty years ago at some music swap meet and pretty much forgot about it because it had a shitty gold pick guard and a bunch of hacky wiring with three toggle switches that never really worked. Back then I didn't know how to fix it or even that I could, but seeing these diagrams made me pull it out again. I still had the original pickguard and switch and it only took an hour to get it back together. Guess I have to find time to play it now!
