« Fender Lone Star Strat »

I play professionally and I paid around $900 new. I bought it to play rock and blues but I have used it to play country as well.

It has a variety of tones and is very fat . I like its playability and the integrity of the construction.

Like most strats it is noisy in some venues and a real shocker when playing poorly grounded outdoor concert stages.

Mine is vintage white and it keeps fading which is cool but I'm not sure thats intended. It is a very durable guitar and stays in tune very well. I did block the tremelo somewhat and switched out the springs for a stronger guage as recomended by the tech who set it up for me . I also adjusted the pickups to get the balence I like .

I have over 25 guitars and I love this guitar and will play it for many years to come. When we do blues or raock gigs it dominates all other guitars present . It can be nastier , bigger and more authoratative.

Get one , you will dig it .
