Episode Highlights:

• Stratocaster TLC: Maintenance & setup check: After years of use, Thomas's 1961 Stratocaster needs some attention. He'll address a scratchy volume pot, put on new strings, and even give it a much-needed cleaning.

• Building the Best Backup Strat: Once the maintenance is complete, Thomas will assemble the ultimate backup Strat from three BluGuitar ‘61 Masterbuilt Strats. Inspired by Eric Clapton's "Blackie," he'll swap necks, adjust pickups, and possibly change pots and caps to achieve a sound and feel as close as possible to his cherished '61 Strat.

• Guitar Criteria Insights: As Thomas works, he'll share the criteria that matter most to him in a guitar, offering valuable insights for anyone looking to fine-tune their own instruments. You’ll learn about Thomas’s preferences for individual parts, the variability in sound among necks from the same supplier batch, and how he compensates for minor issues through setup and electronics tweaking.
