White and Pink Tile Strat

[Axewielder]

Here's an '87 Strat I picked up earlier in the year. It looks to be all original, and with a J-80 pickup. I finally got around to detailing it and getting it set up. This baby is a really nice player! It sort of reminds me of bathroom tile. Fortunately, it does NOT have "toilet tone". I've seen one other tile graphic like this on a Jackson, but it wasn't white and pink.

I really like it. Got a nice 80s vibe, but not overstated. If that makes sense.

Thanks! Here's a HSS white and blue one from the Ontario picture book:

I like the old school graphics that are on the front of the body only.

VERY COOL, are the strings that far off center or it the pics?

Very cool, and looks to be pretty damn clean considering its age. Congrats.

Good eye. It is shifted slightly towards the high E. However, there is still a ton of fret margin on that side. All that fret margin had me thinking this one was a good candidate for an OFR conversion. However, I test fitted a spare OFR on there and the bushing was rubbing on the trem route. I didn't want to do any routing, so the JT6 went back on. It is staying in tune, so I'll leave it be for now.

Very cool. Definitely an 80s vibe.

Looks to me light the neck just needs to be shifted a tad towards the low E side and the bolts re-tightened.
Is a nice scheme. Subtle '80s vibe for sure!

very cool strat. If you had to compare it to a modern pickup, what do the J-80's sound like?
