Published on 08/18/11 at 10:31The Fender Stratocaster is a classic American rock 'n roll guitar. It has one of the most easily recognize body shapes as well as headstocks. This guitar is a guitar player's dream guitar. As a soulful useful tone as well as taking a good chunk from the classic rock tone. This guitar features three single coil pickups as well as a volume control into tone control knobs. This is a tremolo bridge in the back and it features a great looking paint job and pick guard.
UTILIZATION
This guitar is made of ash wood with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard. This is the classic would combination for most of the fender Stratocaster guitars and is easily wanted the best sound full and tone for wood combinations that you can pass. The tone of this guitar is an exceptional one and blends very well with most musical styles.
SOUNDS
I like this guitar with just about any amplifier that you half. It takes whatever amp you're plugging it into two whole new level. Whether that be a Fender amplifier, Mesa boogie, in Marshall it doesn't really matter everything just sounds better and warmer with this guitar. I prefer this guitar mostly in the neck position. The tone in the neck is probably my favorite because it really establishes the overall voicing of this guitar. The bridge in middle positions are nice as well but there's just something with that bluesy stratocaster tone in the neck position.
Hooking this guitar up to any amplifier and couple it with a delay pedal will give you some great effect tones. This guitar takes the fax very well such as phasers flanders, reverbs, and choruses. Since the single coils are able to really give a good clean character to this guitar effects when used come out very well. This guitar has a useful town and it's just a rock solid rock 'n roll guitar.
OVERALL OPINION
At new you can find these guitars for right around $1100 which is not a bad price for an American built an American made guitar. I highly recommend this guitar to anyone looking into getting a Fender Stratocaster and wants to get one of the best tones you can find out of any guitar. This is the kind guitar that gives a lot of inspirations to new boutique guitar builders and hobbyists around the world.
