Published on 01/31/12 at 12:26What can I say about Fender Stratocaster that hasn't been said on countless recordings and pretty much every single musical stage in the world. This has to be the most iconic instrument that is ever existed. There has been some modifications in new features added to this guitar over the years but the basic tone shape and feel of the guitar as remain the same. It's one of those instruments that is just a classic guitar that is extremely versatile with little to no compromise. I love the sound of this instrument especially in the neck pick up that pretty much any way I can play this guitar I'm very happy.

SOUNDS
No matter what amplifier or gear set up you use with these guitars they sound amazing. I really like a good Fender Stratocaster guitar with a solid Marshall plexi with four inputs and with a nice floor by 12 speaker cabinet. Use this guitar and amp set up with a good OD pedal maybe some delay sounds good boost pedal such as an Ibanez or a boss distortion pedal and you're good to get some great hard rock iand metal type tones. Pretty much any settings guitar and it's really good shine. Whether that be with the nice clean fender amplifier or Vox amplifier with a clean sound this guitar is really good to give you a solid tone.
OVERALL OPINION
These guitars are built in America and they aren't that expensive compared lot of other guitars out there today. You can find these guitars for right around $1000 or so. That's not a bad price for good American-built instrument I recommend this guitar to every guitar player out there because it's one of those instruments has to be played by everyone. They sound great for recording and especially on stage.
