Published on 10/05/11 at 19:04The Fender Stratocaster is a fantastic instrument that has been toured and recorded with in pretty much every recording studio on the planet. These guitars probably have been played on every single stage on the planet just because you're so versatile and their tone is just absolutely fantastic. They have such a great bite and a great feel and over all the voicing is just perfect for just about any music you can think of.

SOUNDS
I love the tone of these guitars because you have so much to play with when you put them into your favorite amplifier. Whether it be a clean amplifier or high gain amplifier this guitar tone will rock you up one side down the other. I preferred these guitars primarily with the vintage Marshall amps of some kind. I've always liked me for input Marshall Plexi see your JMP type amp that is jumped with a jumper cable and one of these guitars set on the neck pick up position. Use a little bit of a overdrive for maybe a boss pedal and your have a favorite overdrive or distortion pedals and maybe a little analog delay and you can get some fantastic rock 'n roll tones that will sound great in pretty much any piece of music. This is just no nonsense three pick up style Fender Stratocaster that is simple but yet very effective.
OVERALL OPINION
You can find knees in pretty much any guitar retailer or outlet store in the world. They're easily get found online as well so for the money right around thousand dollars or so there a great buy. I would recommend trying out a few in finding out which neck shape you like or prefer and go from there.
