the one on the left I customized with a set of Custom Shop '69 Fender pickups, pearloid pickguard... I replaced the stock neck with a flamed one piece maple American Fender Custom Shop neck... also re wired the 5 way switch a little differently...
The one on the right has been set on fire a couple times... Drug through gravel.... thrown acrossed stages... I also nailed some beer caps to her... it was a Standard Strat with 3 single coils... after the second bout with flames the electonics were burnt up and the plastics were so melted it was beyond playable... So I treated her to a set of JB/59s, a new pickguard, black jack plate, and a new LP style 3 way switch with straightforward one tone/one volume controls... Shes fitted with GHS Zakk Wylde Heavy/Heavy strings...

There are other pics of me playing my strat before I put the pearloid pickguard on... just look through the album...
I would like to take this time and express my feelings for the strat on the right.....yeeeeechshhhhh.
