Members Dissentience Posted February 27, 2010 Members Share Posted February 27, 2010 Yes. I don't really like how it sounds with dirt, and sometimes I find it "generic" sounding. But at the same time, I love how it sounds clean with some phaser and delay. Plus I always seem to find weird/trippy/awesome sounds when I play it. My Les Paul is my #1 guitar by a mile though.

Members spaceshot Posted February 27, 2010 Members Share Posted February 27, 2010 on my stratocaster the neck relief, action, and pickup height are critical. if any one is even slightly off it sounds dull and plinky. It's the only guitar I own that needs the truss rod tightened every winter and loosened every summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheIncident Posted February 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 I just re-set the action and it is a little better. I never get sick of the neck or neck/mid positions, they're perfect. It's just the bridge that gets to me, I've been through so many and mine now sounds great with fuzz, absolutely love it. OD can just be sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wjbratcher Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 I always think that I really want or need one, until I get one. I've done this like 10 times. man, me too. Whenever I have one, I always like my Teles (and whatever other guitar I have at the time) better. I always cheap out when buying a Strat because I know it won't be my main axe ever. I always crave them when I don't have them around because, admittedly, I long to imitate [some] classic Strat sounds that a Tele or Jazzmaster won't get you. Lame, I know.This round, I picked up one of those '50s Classic Vibes and I actually like it more than any Strat I've had yet. It sounds really good to me with fuzz pedals and lots of effects. I'm kind of hating how it looks, but I'm about to put a new pickguard on it. Maybe I'll be less likely to sell it for a loss then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cryptosonic Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 It is all very myopic isn't it? Strats are for cleans, pauls for dirts, although both can cover the middle ground. Personally I love sound and feel, brands and shapes don't mean much to me. Edit for ambiguous drunkenness: it is to me a function of the right tools for the job. I can drive a nail with a wrench but it is not the best way to drive a nail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Trick Fall Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 I like my American Standard, but I've been doing more and more recording and I just can't deal with the single coil noise anymore. I don't know if it's the power in my basement studio, but I just can't deal. I need to find some good noiseless pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thenakedarab Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 I did until I got my Gold Lace Sensors. That was about 17 or 18 years ago, and since then it's been nothing but . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr.Pain-MD Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 Strats feel very cheap to me a lot of the time. Superstrats are where it's at. Where's Bobby D at? He can vouch for the superstrat love with his sweet new Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hot_karl Posted February 28, 2010 Members Share Posted February 28, 2010 I don't like strats..... tele's own strats imo... I hate the super round neck strats tend to have all the time, and the way they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
