Hey coop, since you asked, would it not be simpler to work on your playing style instead of modding your Strat?

And I am curious, just what are you playing? I am getting visions of Animal from the Muppets


This year the diet is definitely gonna stick!

I have tried changing but old habits hard to break.amd still working on it .I know lots of players tag the volume knob while playing so they just pull the knob off .I was hoping for an easy fix like that

some bad habits lead to a unique tone so if it works for you then it works, i have the same problem with les paul style guitars, no matter how much i try i keep hitting the pickup selector when playing them good job i like strat guitars more.

Check the link i posted earlier and see if that's what you are looking for, they ship world wide so you shouldn't have a problem buying it if it is what you need
