Really cool instrument, and its awesome that you've made it exactly your own.
Out of curiosity, was the strat new or used when you bought it with all those fret and nut issues?
Brand new, right off the rack at GC. Manufacturing date was 3 months prior.
This is anecdotal, but most of the MIM strats and teles I saw there had pretty bad fret sprout. The Squiers didn’t. I was thinking it must have been due to the humidity/temperature difference between the manufacturing location and New England in winter.
