Hi, 1Bassleft.
It`s lighter than my CIJ `62 re-ish Strat, and that`s pretty light.
I`m waiting on a 6mm trem arm and an extra trem spring then I`ll record some tracks with it.
I`m not a rocker, I`m into Shadows music and other instrumental stuff.
When replacing the pup selector I found that I still had the one off my old `69 Strat. I might see what I can get for it on Ebay 😉olemusoParticipantThis is what it looks like now.

New plate, selector, block & saddles and strap buttons. Had to redo the wiring but it sounds fine now.
olemusoParticipantolemusoParticipantHi all.
I just bought, at local auction a dirty, rusty, smelly CMI guitar. Which is why I came here (from Google).
It`s a Strat shape with a maple neck and board, 3-way pup selector and white scratch plate… not sure how many ply cos the previous owner has drawn and painted all over it, including round the edges.
The logo is the block type and it says “ARTIST MODEL” alongside it, then “Complete Solid Body”. The neck plate says “MADE IN JAPAN” but I can`t see a serial or model number.I plugged it in and it appears that the pups are working but the electrics are pretty sad, needing cleaning or replacing. I think the amount of rust says it all.
I`ll take some photos and post them. I haven`t seen a Stat type CMI on here, is mine the first? 🙂
Gonna strip it now and see if can get it working to any standard.
By the way, I got it for £9.38p 😀
