It's tough to sell a FrankenStrat for what you have into it, unless you find
someone who's looking for "just that thing" that you happen to have. Most
guitar players who might want one will just build one for less than what
you're willing to sell - or trade - yours for, IMO. Your best bet is to
throw it up on e-bay & see what you get & then apply the proceeds to
whatever mic pre you want to buy.

With all due respect, this is not a "1980's American Fender Strat."

This reminds me of the story about the guy who proudly still had his
grandfather's axe, although of course he'd had to replace the blade once and
the handle twice...

That reminds me of the story about the 100-year-old axe. It's only on its
third head and 7th handle <g>.

Excuse me, but that is not a Fender strat! How could you call it that? It's
an Anderson neck on a Schecter body. It's a put-together. That's fine, but
you shouldn't call it a Fender American Strat.
