Published on 11/29/11 at 14:57The Fender Stratocaster is probably my favorite instrument that is there been created. I love the way this thing feels and sits on your shoulder get star strap around your neck. It has a nice balance and weight to it and the overall tone is very inviting for any style of music that I might be into for the week. Since there's a lot of musical styles and sounds out there if one all-encompassing guitar can be hard to fine. I think this guitar does it quite well because it's extremely versatile and can play pretty much any style of music.

SOUNDS
The Fender Stratocaster has a great sound for country all the way up to hard rock music. It doesn't sound that great any drop tuning setting but even still it just has a very inviting and creative sounding to it. Whether you use this with the fender clean amplifier or high gain amplifier such as a Bogner or Mesa boogie this guitars can give you exactly what you give it. It's a solid tone and a great feel and it will match your guitar rig or your effects quite nicely. Overall it's a solid sounding instrument from the feel and the tone is right there for any guitar player.
OVERALL OPINION
You can find these guitars pretty much anywhere you find musical instruments whether that be online or any guitar shop such as Sam Ash for Guitar Center. They're very easy to find and the price point is very nice as well. You can find these guitars right around thousand dollars or so depending on features and whatnot. The great sounding US built instrument that is fantastic for gigging or recording.
