Any Strat players??

[El Cid]

I was wondering if we have any Strat players as members yet.

I have a Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster. Love it. All singles. Epis are always at the heart of me but this Strat puts a smile on my face when I play it.

I will get a pic up here shortly

I have an ibanez strat, and it definitely is a treat to play. Fenders are completely different beasts from the Epi's.

Does an Epiphone strat count? Its been converted to a single humbucker wired straight to the input jack, also has a Floyd Rose and locknut.

Show us a pic and then we can count it

This is the only pic I have of it at the moment. I guess it will have to do.

 

[El Cid]

I would say that counts . Nice collection you got there RTH

Thank you, El Cid! Its a humble collection, but I love them. The Epiphone strat is my go-to guitar. If I could warm up to the Fender neck radius, I would certainly own some. I had a Squier Standard and really liked the sound of it, but the neck...we just didnt get along.

 

[El Cid]

It definitely takes me a bit to switch between necks. Like the Bonamassa neck to the Tribute Plus.

The reason I got the Fender is because my dad got the same one but his has the humbucker. Once I played his I fell in love. Took me ages to save enough to get mine (and a little ebay selling)

I find the Strat body shape to be very comfortable. I want to like them soooo bad!

My Mexican Strat was my first electric in 1994. It has always been my go-to guitar. I love my Epiphone and Gibsons but my Fender will be timeless. I also use a Fender P-bass. I am working on building up my arsenal of 6 strings and have been shooting for Epi and Gibs lately. They seem to be a healthier supply of lefties in a moderate price point. I'd REALLY love a Squire level Jazzmaster, alas none are to be had.
I have always appreciated the humbuckers of my Les Paul, but I just can't leave my Single Coils in my Strat for long.

I recently picked up this Squier Strat Deluxe at a pawnshop, previous owner replaced stock pups with lace hot golds and replaced headstock logo with Fender. Looks feels and sounds great! Having difficulty uploading pics at the moment

Shape, yes. Neck, no.

Has Fender ever made a Strat with a 12" radius?

Yep, they made a few

Though pricey ones IIRC

Damn! Pricey is not in my price range.

Looks like the Eric Johnson model did
