OverDrive Custom Guitar Works was started
in March 2009 based on an overwhelming support of a Gilmour style Black
Strat Project that was published in January 2009 on the
Military Gear HQ
web site. I received numerous suggestions and
requests to produce some of the custom parts involved in
the Black Strat Project with everyone stating that there would be
a genuine interest to purchase these items among fellow custom
Strat builders. I was reluctant at first but went ahead
after some insistent nudging from prospective customers and started
things off in producing the recessed mini-toggle switch mounting bracket which
allows you to mount a mini-toggle switch on the under side of
the Strat pickguard and have only a small portion of the toggle
lever protrude through a small slot in the pickguard which is
the same as on Gilmour's Black Strat. From there I started
custom routing the all black 1 ply pickguard's to accept the recessed
mini-toggle switch mounting brackets and shortly there
after began custom manufacturing the Gilmour style shortened Strat tremolo arms
out of precision ground 303 stainless steel. These
shortened tremolo arms are
4¼" in length
which is the same as on Gilmour's Black Strat.
They differ from the factory Fender Strat
tremolo arm length
of 6".
I have since expanded my product
offerings to building complete and fully loaded Black
Strat pickguard assemblies all ready to drop into your
favorite Strat body. Every component of
these assemblies is hand selected for the highest quality and
authenticity to the original components in Gilmour's Black
Strat. Recently I have employed a specialized shop that
is custom manufacturing the all black 1 ply 0.120" thick acrylic
Strat pickguard that already has the recessed mini-toggle switch
slot ready to accept our mounting bracket, these acrylic
pickguard's complement our
complete pickguard assemblies wonderfully with their authenticity to the
original. I also offer complete fully loaded pickguard
assemblies with any of the various Fender Custom Shop or
Noiseless pickup sets with your choice of pickguard's and
accessory colors for your custom Strat build project.
Everything advertised here on the web
site is in stock and immediately available for shipment
unless otherwise noted. If any item is temporarily
out of stock I indicate it on the item page to make sure
you are aware of an items current unavailability.
Take a look around at the various parts, accessories, kits and
custom guitars I am currently offering. Things are
changing quickly around here to introduce new items all
the time. I recently
became an authorized Seymour Duncan dealer and I am
continuing to expand my inventory of genuine Fender
parts and accessories dedicating my sales to the custom
Strat builder. I am
constantly looking at new ways to expand upon my current
products so stop by often and see what new ideas and
projects I
have to offer.
