I did the same thing (ish) lately. I sold my '22 Epiphone Les Paul Modern, which was beautiful to look at, but something about the Probuckers or whatever it had, was soulless. Traded it for a Fender acoustic. I also have a Harley Benton in quasi-storage (LesPaul Junior copy, 2x P90) like absolutely everyone into guitars, and to ensure it'll never sell, it's got 2 permanent Ron Jeremy stickers, applied just before Ron's 'cancellation', that is, but hey it was $400 incl taxes & delivery from Germany. Oddly, the Harley Benton was the only guitar (of ~20 or so since 2018 when I got into guitars) that showed up in perfect tune. It arrived in a box you'd expect for maybe produce - rained on, banged up, but I put a Snark on it, strummed each string, and not one of them was a hair over perfect tune. It might be haunted, tbh, haha. Love the tones on that McCarthy, but now that I've built my frankenstrat, I'll only get parts as needed: TLDR: 2018 American Performer Strat. 2018 American Performer, Seafoam Green, maple neck, HSS, humbucker is a Shawbucker2 (my favorite pickup), Obsidian wire kit, Floyd Rose 'rail tail' trem with all 5 tension springs intact, tusq nut, schaller straplocks & F-Series locking tuners, anodized aluminum gold color front 'pickguard'/plate). Only thing I wish I had was stainless frets, and since the truss rod's a bit too weak (fully tightened yet still a slight concave in center), perhaps a new neck is in order. See how I talk myself into more parts/mods? Almost bought a Richlite/Stainless fret neck from guys in New Zealand for $2k CDN before coming to my senses. Only guitar I miss now is the Mexican Fender Strat "noventa" with 2 P90s. They were the best sounding P90s I've ever heard.
