I'm a pretty solidly avowed LP kinda guy, but I'm starting to think I need to explore a Strat again.
I had a Strat until a few months ago...didn't like it. It was a baseline American Strat, with the 'Texas' pot (something about bypassing EQ when at 10'). It didn't sound, well, even remotely good to me. No balls, no mojo, I sold it.
But, I listen to Strat clips on YouTube, and my Strat didn't sound like any of them...I wonder if I had a lemon.
SO, long story short, I'm going to get another Strat. I need that sound in my arsenal. Criteria:
-I want a traditional Strat. No EMG's, etc.
-I'd like the PUPs to be 'kinda' hot, but want warm too...me likey versatility.
-I DON'T CARE where it's made.
-I like 'V necks'. I DON'T like baseball bat necks.
I *kinda* like those roadworn's, but I'm not ready to spend that much money on one. I'd like to spend at $400 used for a decent one...Suggest away please for the model I'm looking for.
