Which Stratocaster is the Best?

The New Squier Paranormal series is out with a model called the "Cyclone", it has single-coils like a Strat in a Mustang Body with Jaguar Pickup switches.

Edit: The Strat might be better though only because it has Tone Controls.

Interesting Fact: The Cyclone actually has two Volume Controls instead of one Volume one Tone.

GEAR:
  • Washburn T-24 Taurus Bass
  • Gibson EB-3
  • Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro Koa - Limited Edition

Hrm... I may have to snag me one of those.

If only they came in Midnight Wine...

GEAR:
  • Vox V241 Bulldog
  • Kay KDG 70

They only come in Daphne Blue and Shell Pink.

GEAR:
  • Washburn T-24 Taurus Bass
  • Gibson EB-3

I know. Hence the lamenting the fact, wistful thinging, wishing. See, my Fender gear has a trend. All 3 of my actual Fenders are MiM, and Midnight Wine. Soon, they'll all three have aged pearl pickguards as well.

Started with the P-Bass, then the Strat (gods I love my Strat), and the most recent addition has been my J-Bass fretless. Smooth Jaco sounds, even if I can't play that good, I can get the tone!

GEAR:
  • Vox V241 Bulldog

Yeah, I also plan to get a Duff McKagen Fender Jazz Special/P-Bass with a treble boost pot, I might install a Kill-Pot if I like it.

Hi - I have a 1994 Lite Ash and the neck is better than any Strat I have ever handled. I guess the hardward is a little different, but I got Seymore Duncan pickups installed so I can't complain. Brilliant guitar, goes for $600 used if you can find one.
