Hiya, First post etc.
I've just come into a Goldstar Strat, that needs some TLC.
It play so well, I've been after it for years.
The problem is that my brother (who gave it tome) went through a bit of a 'pop-punk' phase as a kid and etched some stars into the scratch-plate, I've managed to get all his gross 15 year old stickers and residue off it, and given it a good service.
My only problem is the scratch plate looks daft.
I'm debating whether to just nut up and deal with the fact I have a beautiful guitar that sounds great, but has these horrendous stars etched in the plate or I get a replacement scratch-plate.
Would I have to go custom (which i cba to do atm) or would a Fender replacement fit it? If so which ones would you recommend?
Sorry if this is rambling. It's been a long day. I'll post photo's and S/N's when I'm back from work this evening if that will help.
Thanks
