Hi Guys
Just getting around to this, but it may be of help to some, hope the link works but im pretty hopless at this linking stuff
This is the complete assemply from my beloved ST40, completely period correct as I bought it in 84' and have owned it since. Sadly I removed the made in Japan and 40 stickers in the eighties due to the stigma and the guitar now runs on Jeff Beck noisless with TBX tone.
But the important thing is, and what still amazes me is the quality and neatness of the wiring on what was their most basic strat.
Mine has a fantastic flat D shaped neck, which was great for playability but the combination of me playing it to death & soft frets meant a twisted neck, ive now refreted and had the twist sanded out and its back to its perfect best.
Other key features are the 5 sided tuners, these are seen by some as inferior but if you persevere and strip them and get some Vaseline in the gear they are easily as good as the delux versions on my ST50.
