Easy Installation, Excellent Sound!

My best friend had a strat he attempted to mod into an HHH configuration almost 20 years and was never able to get sound of it. I secretly borrowed his guitar and installed this in about 20 minutes. Used some pickups he had mentioned, leveled the frets, docked the bridge (per his original plan), and cleaned it thoroughly. It sounds and feels great now. I cannot wait to give it back to him for Christmas. He's going to be very surprised! Installation is painless and having a blender is a fun addition to get a few more unique tones out of it.
