Members voneville Posted April 2, 2006 Members Share Posted April 2, 2006 I've owned a lot of guitars over the years but I never owned a fender based strat (I did have a pointy super strat with a floyd for a minute, but I don't count that). I had some money in my paypal account so I decided to take the plunge. I am now the proud owner of a squier strat well, as soon as it gets here. I guess it's time to start pickup shopping.

Members Alchemist Posted April 2, 2006 Members Share Posted April 2, 2006 Originally posted by guitarlady Don't you have a bunch of super-strats though? I've gone through a few yes. My finest looking was a custom lado out of birdseye maple. The only one I have left is my RG570 (its also the best player I've owned). I also owned a tele so I have not been totaly fenderless, but no strat lol. Gonna get a carvin CS supertele built for me though:D mmm supertele.... (just to clear up what I mean by supertele lol, 24 fret birdseye neck, HSS, wilkinson bridge, sapphire blue quilt top) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still shopping around the prospect of other builders, or finding a used Suhr or Anderson. I'll be ordering in May though, I am in no rush. However, so far Carvin seems to be offering everything I want for the least amount of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Noah Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 I never liked strats, I played SG's, Steve morse EBMM, G&L Tele, Ibanez Artists ... That is until I played a beck strat about 4 years ago. Now I can't go back. I also have an AmDeluxe HSS, but becky get's played 10 times more often. Congrats on your purchase voneville, hope you enjoy yours as much as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Raybies Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 Played 25 yrs and never owned a Strat. Kept trying to like them but the radius is just too round for me after playing LesPauls. Are there models with radii closer to 12"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 I got my first guitar 23 years ago.I've never owned a Fender Strat.I've never owned a Tele of any kind.I've never owned a guitar without at least one humbucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GAS Man Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 I don't see how you guys can even breathe without a strat. My first good electric guitar was a nice LP CSE Studio. I changed amps a couple times trying to get the sound I was looking for. Finally found in the early 90's that the sound I was seeking comes from a strat. But I think it has a lot to do with your musical reference. Having grown up on rock music from the mid-late 60's, plus into the 70's, it's hard to go without that strat sound imprinted on you. I recommend the Texas Special Pickups. They have a vintage sound without some of the thinness that can come with a true vintage strat pickup. I think this video http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=RDD080142 is a "must have" for any one who loves strats and is more of a MUST WATCH for those who aren't into strats. The different tones EJ gets from his rig are at a minimum surprising and inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
