Published on 01/31/12 at 11:31I absolutely love the sound of that good Fender Stratocaster with a nice Marshall amplifier or some sort of standard cleaning amplifier with a post. This guitar has been one of the greatest instruments that music is ever known. It has the perfect balance and solid feel and everything in between. The neck is very competent and it's very easy play and sounds good in almost any situation. These are fantastic guitars that are extremely versatile and can play in pretty much any style of music that you put it in. They don't do very well in the new metal modern metal settings that use a lot of dropped tunings or alternate tunings but anything that's in standard to a step below will sound really good.

SOUNDS
I really like Fender Stratocaster with the humbucker installed in the bridge position. I like it to be a fatter sound with the humbucker combined with a slick clean sound of the single coil pickups. When you use this guitar with a good Marshall amplifier and a nice delay this padel such as an Ibanez tube screamer or a boss SD 1 padel you can get some great hard rock tones. This guitar will give you everything you want and what ever music that you put it, it will compliment you back. There really isn't anything that this guitar can do as far as music styles for me personally. That's why really this guitar is more versatile than any other instrument because of its ability to adapt to any version of music that you play.
OVERALL OPINION
These guitars usually float right around $1000 or so. You can find them in the used section of many classifieds as well. This is one of the most prominently used guitars out there so finding one isn't too hard. However there has been some variations in neck profile size so I suggest trying out a few at the shop locally to find out which one do you prefer best or overall that is great for gigging and recording.
