Members primeholy Posted April 10, 2009 Members Share Posted April 10, 2009 I bought a Highway 1 Strat last year. I only play it on about two songs(Little Wing, Voodoo Chile). I dont like the tone of it and was thinking of throwing in a single coil sized humbucker. But for the last week or so I have been thinking of selling it and getting an ESP with a floyd. What would be a good price to ask for it with case?(it is the newer fender flight cases) I also installed locking tuners if that effects anything.

Members guitarbilly74 Posted April 10, 2009 Members Share Posted April 10, 2009 about $550-600.... but keep it, every serious player should have a strat in his collection. Add the single-sized HB for heavier tones, it will make the guitar a lot more versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BeëlzeM Posted April 10, 2009 Members Share Posted April 10, 2009 Every serious player shouldn't have any Strats in his collection at all. Sell it and get the ESP, definately. What ESP were you thinking of, an M or an Horizon or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted April 10, 2009 Members Share Posted April 10, 2009 Who dat?? Andreas from Sepultura .. which is the band the poster above quoted on his sig. He's been a strat player from almost a decade now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeëlzeM Posted April 10, 2009 Members Share Posted April 10, 2009 look at your signature, man: Yeah, you know he was using Jacksons with the real Sepultura. I don't even care for Andreas these days anymore, or Sepultura.No really, Strats are good for the clean stuff, I just hate the way they look, old and generic and boring and done way too many times. There are other cool single-coil guitars out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used strats with HBs for the longest time in the studio to record solos and clean parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron Burgandy Posted April 10, 2009 Members Share Posted April 10, 2009 You just haven't grown into your Strat yet. Personalize it for your needs, and you'll eventually become very attached to it. Unless it's just a bad chunk o'wood, then eBay it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway, yeah I know he's been using Strats a lot, like a lot of other players really. I just can't stand the way they look That's about it.

I just can't stand the way they look That's about it. yeah junior high/high school , not same class because he's a few years older but yeah same school. I'm not a strat player myself, but I have one on the side here for cleans, fast leads on the neck pickup etc it's a staple of so many rock/metal tones. Mine has a Hb in the bridge as well since I can't stand the tone of a strat bridge single coil. But a HSS strat is one of the most versatile guitars out there, you can pretty much get anything you want from it. It's important to have one especially if you can't afford to own too many guitars.
