Members V-man Posted March 18, 2009 Members Share Posted March 18, 2009 People always seem to say a Strat, or HSS Strat. Yes they're definitely and obviously versatile, but in my opinion so is any guitar when you know how to tweak it and the amp settings. This. I would have a V because I like them. If Albert King and Lonnie Mack can work the blues around the V like that, it's clear any guitar can work any role as it's secondary to the player behind it.

Members metallica_00 Posted March 18, 2009 Members Share Posted March 18, 2009 Definitely an ES-335. I've owned Strats and Superstrats and played plenty of Teles and Pauls. A good ES can hang in there with a Les Paul for rocking out on the bridge pickup and can get some good twang on the bridge played clean as well. Warm jazzy tones on the neck pickup, and the middle has a nice zing on the top end. The semi-hollow gives you more clarity from the humbuckers than a solidbody, so while you'll never nail Strat tones, you will still get great articulation.

Members WillJay91 Posted March 18, 2009 Members Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'd say any Fender as you can drop in whatever pickups you like and have it anyway you want. You could have a strat with any mix of single coils and humbuckers. Personally though I'd rather have a telecaster, maybe with 3 pickups just to make it a tad more versatile. I just get on with them better then strats but I do like the middle/neck pickup sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
