« Single great guitar »

What can I say about the Fender Stratocaster that hasn't already been said and used and recorded in almost every album since they started playing the electric guitar. These guitars are such fine instruments in the beauty and quality and they just flat-out remarkable. They have such a great soul a great feel and overall just a great tone. These are simple designed guitars and there's not a whole lot of features and functionality to them.

SOUNDS


These guitars sound great with any amplifier or any effects pedals that you have laying around. Whenever your system is that you're running this guitar will fit quite well into that network. I primarily like these guitars with a Marshall amplifier of some sort. They sound good and pretty much anything so it doesn't really matter what you have is that sound great. I just really like the tone of these guitars with a good Marshall for input amplifier because of the nice punchy tone that the JMP Marshall amplifier's have.

OVERALL OPINION


You find these guitars pretty much anywhere you look for musical gear. Most retailers carry Fender Stratocaster. So I suggest going in and try out different necks in different weights in different colors to find out which one that you gel and jive with. They're not that expensive as an instrument and you can find them just around thousand dollars or so pending on where you look. If you're looking in the use section you can find them pretty easily there as well. They hold their value quite well and they're such a great instrument for collection or use.
