Find Strat Solely as a Temp Instrument

[LoopyBullet]

Hey everybody,

I'm looking for a good Strat to be a temporary instrument while I build my own. I had VERY good results the first time I built one, and now that I realize what I like and don't like, I'm taking another swing at it.

In terms of how easy it would be to sell it off (assuming that I keep it in good condition) and not taking a big hit in selling for less than I bought it, would you consider an American Standard or a Classic Players' 60s Strat to be the better placeholder for me?

Hope you guys can help. Thanks!

A used American Standard. Let somebody else take the hit if you KNOW you are going to sell it in the near future.

Gotta agree. In the current economy you are going to take a big hit buying new and then selling, no matter what you buy.
