The Fender Stratocaster is the evolution of the original Fender telecaster guitar from tender music company. This guitar is basically the instrument that revolutionize and redefine rock 'n roll. It's a great sounding guitar and almost perfect instrument from start to finish. It has a great balance and crate feel and that's why it's been bleeding instruments and electric guitar for the last half century.

SOUNDS

The tone of this guitar is fantastic. Especially when you couple it with a nice heavy amplifier such as a Mesa boogie or a Marshall amplifier. You get a great singing sustain in tone that is very blossoming and fruitful. It has a great earthy tone that mixes well and pretty much any style of music you can imagine. There really isn't a style music that this guitar can't fit in unless you're talking about heavily dropped tuned metal guitar sounds. Other than that is get the guitar can pretty much do just about anything. It's extremely versatile and overall just a perfect instrument. I really like the sound of these guitars primarily with the Marshall amplifier but pretty much any amplifier that you have this guitar will bring out the best and I gear.

OVERALL OPINION

You can find his guitars for right around $730 new on the online retailers and in most retailer guitar shops. You can also find them used pretty easily as well. I suggest trying out a few in finding out which neck you prefer because the next can change from guitar to guitar as well as with each reissue and model number.
