Members wannabshredder Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 why not be a little different an go G&L. They are wicked guitars. Dollar for dollar better than a strat. Better tuners, tremolo, pickups fit and finish. I have a G&L dealer here in South Florida with a whole wall full of beauties. Even with the matching headstocks, sweet. They are flawless. Good luck, whatever you get make sure it feels / sounds good first, color and looks are secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members murch33 Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 I picked up my Am. Del. mainly because of the pickups, not just because it was a Strat. But I'm still a lot more comfortable with my C-1. I'm just not sure I'm a Fender guy. I owned a Tele briefly and then traded it back for the Strat. Now I've got the Strat, and ... Let's just say I'm looking around. I think something with P-90's is next on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alanfc Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 when I grab the neck and play I know instantly if its right or not, and the strat is the only one that feels right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members workinclasszero Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 I'd get a MIJ Strat at the right price but I rather have one of the 60s RI Teles with the Bigbsy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members papa taco Posted June 2, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 Nice looking G&L.If I got a G&L, I'd prefer a humbucker bridge so I could drop my Vintage Vibe HB-P90 in there.My one complaint about strats is I'm not really into the single coil bridge tone on the strat. Needs more beef.taco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jaymeister Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 The boutiques are nice, but for the $$$, a G&L goes a long way. This one cost me $650 new, 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PFDarkside Posted June 2, 2006 Members Share Posted June 2, 2006 I want that Jazzmaster in your Avatar! Within the category of Strat, you can definitely be original. Colors, pickups, guards, rear routed, hardware, headstock shape/color, et al. I think a Strat/Tele/LP is much more beautiful than those ugly 60's funky guitars that try to look 'different'.

Members HMCMedic Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 My one complaint about strats is I'm not really into the single coil bridge tone on the strat. Needs more beef. taco My Grosh Retro Classic has a Lindy Fralin Umbucker in the bridge with a coil split in the tone knob, it also has a blend knob that lets you blend the neck pickup in with the bridge, you can dial it in to sound like a Tele.

Members deadbob166 Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 i want a black strat with a black w/white edge pickguard and white pu covers, not because i like strats, because it's the best looking guitar i've ever seen. has to have a maple board too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ollenorin Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 i like strats cause theyre so simple and sound really open and are easy to play...heres my bastard.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nik Posted June 3, 2006 Members Share Posted June 3, 2006 Yup. But I would want hot rails at bridge and neck. And I know I could get a better guitar for less money by not buying one with Fender on the headstock. ANd I like a 12" fingerboard radius, locking tuners. Then I realise I've got three guitars that are variations on that configuration already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
