Strat Addict

[Matt L]

I'm on a big Strat kick again. They just feel like home to me.

I can never seem to get mine set up right or to stay in tune very well...it's quite frustrating since I once played a vintage Strat in Nashville that was the best playing and sounding guitar I've ever picked up. Why...why can't mine be like that?

'cause that one was set up by one of the best luthiers in the biz, instead of you. Well, partly that, and no offense, myan.

Yeah I have 4 Strats.

This old partscaster I've had since 1990:

My USA 40th Anniversary Strat I've had since 1995:

And I recently bought 2 American Specials:

I love all these!

I'm with you. I tried for years to find something else but came back to my original mij strat. I am saving for a suhr classic though.

I love strats, with the caveat that I'm really picky, I mean REALLY picky. So ironically, I hate most strats. When you find the right one, it's the greatest thing ever.

here is my '04 American deluxe. i know, i know, pardon the sticker... it'll come off someday... for now she is the peace-o-caster. ash, maple neck, s1 system, killer no filler...

 

[djg714]

Love'em . Got 6 right now. Try to keep at least 4 around.

One of my newest....'11 Am Std HSS.

 

[Twangdaddy]

I've realized I'm a slave to Strats. All I think about when it comes to guitars is Strats, Strats, Strats. I have a Tele and a Ibanez jazzbox for me, a Strat, is THE guitar.

I agree - that's one Tele too many! :&#8226

Four Strats and two Les Pauls here.

I've been on a Strat kick lately. Picked up 5 cheap ones so far this year, and already had 2 at home, a Classic Player 60s and a Road Worn 60s. My wife got me a Squier Bullet for my bday this past January, and I modded it. Then we found an Alvarez Custom Classic a couple weeks ago. I picked up a Squier CV 60s last Monday, then found out that a surplus store nearby was blowing out blemished Squier Strat SE Specials for $45. I picked up one Thursday, went back for another on Friday. More mod projects coming up!

Local shop was having a huge sale today, and I scored a new sunburst Jimmie Vaughan signed by JV on the pickguard for $375 and a white/gold Classic Vibe '50s Strat for $183!!!!! I cannot believe it, honestly.

The feel of strats is amazing but sometimes, for me, they are a little one dimensional. I would suggest throwing some humbuggies in one or get an HSH setup just to change it up a little.

Yeah- I like to S-T-R-E-T-C-H the Strat thing with much warmer, more resonant bodies, not usually Fender, and H-S-S or H-S-H also.

I'm even thinking of doing an H-S-H set neck or LP or Carvin Carved Top or Larrivee R2........with H-S-H, and switches.

There's nothing particularly special about my American Strat. But it's mine, it's comfortable like a broken in glove and I'll never sell it

Sure, I'd like to have more Strats. So many guitars, so little time (and money). For now, this is the one.

 

[Guitarworks]

I was a stratocaster enthusiast for 18 years. But it ran its course and I've long since been generally out of the strat game. In that time I tried a number of different combinations of necks, pickup configs, colors, etc. Eventually I settled on my favorite type having 3 single coils and a maple board.

 

[thatstoneboy]

I've tried to like other guitars, even lusted a few until I tried them for a while. I've decided I'm a strat guy and will never need anything else.

 

[Cream]

A maple-board Strat will always be home for me, electric-wise.

 

[vibrasonic]

I like a lot of different guitars, but if i could only have one it would be my 63 Hardtail.

 

[adaytonguitarist]

Ive always had the strat bug as well.
Currently 6 strats, but whose counting...

 

[GibsonSGgirl]

I started out when I was 16 with a Gibson SG and thumbed my nose up at Fenders in general. My how the tables have turned...now I have more Strats than any other brand or type of guitar. I have a '96 62RI, '98 62RI, '88 57RI, and an 02 American Deluxe.
