Members Dr. Scottie C Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 Is there any guitar you would say is more comfortable than a strat ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marko Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 Always prefered semi/hollow bodies for comfort. Something about the larger bodies, and light weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"strat" meaning Fender Stratocaster specifically, or stratocaster-style?i personally think the following are more comfortable to me than a Fender stratocaster:Tyler Studio Elite (the neck on that thing is pure heaven with the rolled edges and chunky profile, and the unfinished area where the picking forearm goes is sensual)PRS - McCarty, DGT, Modern Eagle, HollowbodyMalinoski RodeoIbanez Saber or Radius or JS1000McInturff TaurusGibson Les Paul or SG (I'm adding this because I enjoy the 24.75" scale better than the fender scale).

Members billybilly Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 Perfect balance, great for sitting down, not too heavy if standing, can't really think of a contender. But hey, that's the beauty of a strat. Those contours too, yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soundcreation Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'd agree that strat style are probably the most comfortable. There are variations on the fender strat that are more ergronomic. Better neck heel joints and contours etc. But I also think the differences are a bit over rated between most of the "big" guitars. I don't find LP's or Teles THAT much more uncomfortable. and SG's are almost as good as strat style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4nd3h Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 Y'all need more offset... Jazz master is the perfect fit for my fat ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Apple Slim Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 Agree Strat is most ergonomic, but Ive never owned an offset. Some say they are. But really how uncomfortable is any guitar? I've wrapped myself around a big ol dreadnaught more than any other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Strung_Out Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 Most comfortable guitars I've ever played are EB Steve Morse and Luke. I guess you could say they're strat shaped, but they take it to a whole other level of comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 The Jazzmaster is better to me, bith sitting and standing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members xStonr Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 The Strat body style with it's contours is a very comfortable guitar. Lately though, II have been enjoying the Gibson 243/4 scale better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kit_strong Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yup, my vox virage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zer0psi Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 Fender Mustang with contoured body. A la '69RI, Kurt Cobain, or the smaller Pawn Shop Special body. All those curves with a shorter scale and LIGHT weight? Most comfort imaginable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Valtyr Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 Parker FlyHowever, this is only more comfortable if you don't slouch when you play. If you do, the upper horn on older Parkers might be bothersome. Newer Parkser have a different upper horn but I haven't had a chance to try one. I think the strat is an excellent design and very hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sxyryan Posted February 13, 2013 Members Share Posted February 13, 2013 I've always found offsets pretty comfy, and lately I've been really loving my Gretsch Tennessee Rose for cuddling. Nice and light, and a little smaller than most hollowbodies. Perfect for me. They aren't known for it, but Gibby Explorers and BC Rich Mockingbirds are super comfy to play sitting down. At least for me anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
