Published on 09/14/11 at 16:56I absolutely love the Fender Stratocaster guitar. It's an iconic guitar in just a brilliantly built guitar. Is one of the most versatile guitars and the world as well. It has a great feeling in overall perfect balance for me. I played a lot of guitars and a lot of guitars have great balances to them but nothing as close as the Fender Stratocaster. It may just be my body shape or how the guitar hangs I'm off my shoulders but if Fender Stratocaster just fits perfectly across my chest. Also the red color is just exciting as well.
UTILIZATION
This guitar comes with three single coil pickups, a volume control knobs, and two tone control knobs. It also has a five way pick up selector switch between each of the three pick ups as well as in between each of the three pickups. These guitars are truly versatile and very exciting play and write music with.
SOUNDS
I love the tone of these guitars with a good high gain amplifier such as a Marshall amplifier or a Bogner amplifier. They sound fantastic with a clean amplifier as well. Of course these guitars were voiced originally to Fender amps so the chemistry between a fender clean and this guitar is going to be very magical. Get a perfect balance to them especially with the voice and have a fender twin reverb or another Fender amp with a solid reverb unit inside.
I preferred these guitars in the neck pickup position because the neck pick up really highlights the feeling and character of this guitar. It gives it a bluesy warmth tone. It's a very fun time as well and to me no other guitar can replicate the sound of the fender Stratocaster in the neck position. It's going to be a little bit less distortion because of the neck pickup but you're going to have a great tone that is easily identifiable as a Fender Stratocaster guitar.
These guitars work with any effects pedal that you have or use. They take can use effects pedal such as overdrive, distortions, Flanders, phasers, chorus, delays, and any type of reverb that you might have as well.
OVERALL OPINION
I highly recommend every guitarists to own a Fender Stratocaster at some point in their playing career. They are an iconic guitar and a very fun guitar as well. You can find them in the use market extremely easily because they're very popular. At new you can find these guitars for about $1100 which is pretty good price for this guitar. It's an American make classic and the tone is just an awesome. This is probably the most recommended guitar that I can ever tell someone else to buy.
