The Fender Stratocaster has got to be the best sounding instrument that is ever been created in my opinion. I'm pretty partial to these guitars because they have such a great sound and solid sound for pretty much any music that I played personally. To feel the balance and the weight of the instrument is very conducive to your way I approach the guitar as well. I'm also into Gibson Les Paul guitars but there's just something about that Fender Stratocaster that makes me enjoy playing that much more.

SOUNDS


If you've ever heard Jimi Hendrix and you know exactly what to tell you to get from a Fender Stratocaster. It's can be a nice clean sounding tone compared to to a mahogany wood based guitar with hum buckers such as most Gibson guitars . You are going to get a nice thick susstain that's going to be very conducive and extremely versatile to any style of music that you put it in. It's not could be as thick as you would a Gibson Les Paul guitar this could have a natural sustain that is very pleased to the ears. No matter what amplifier, a effects, or rig that you have this guitar will sound fantastic in all settings.

OVERALL OPINION


You can find a Fender Stratocaster pretty much anywhere you find musical instruments being sold in any online retailer and most regular music shops will sell Fender Stratocaster. Many come in different size shapes and next but overall the natural feel in town is universal. The usually hang around $100 or so which is a great price point for an American built guitar.
