An old friend
I've had this guitar for nearly 20 years. While I prefer my Gibson, this guitar has sentimental value and has played a lot of shows back in the day. Mine is wine red with ebony fretboard
Did a lot of work on mine
Originally a 2010 Olympic White American standard, I put in a set of BareKnuckle pups, making it an HSS, put on Fender locking tuners, and repainted it several times. love it! its my No. 2 guitar, behind my Gibson Les Paul
Easily my favourite guitar
I have 2008 model American Standard Stratocaster. I bought it used and it was refinished to Olympic White Nitrocellulose lacquer. Easily my favourite guitar. At time of my purchase it was equipped with Callaham vintage bridge, graphtech nut and set of DiMarzio pickups but I eventually swapped them with stock pickups that previous owner did provide with guitar. This guitar has great tone and sustain and is really lightweight. It holds tuning fantastically really just fine crafted instrument.
I'm sure the Callaham milled steel parts are contributing a lot. Those guys make the best strat parts.
Fender should ship such expensive guitars with these bridges stock :) Really simple mod but very effective.
My baby!
First thing's first. This guitar plays and sounds amazing right out of the box. An American classic with the tone to back it up.
But one of my favorite things about the Stratocaster is that it's basically inviting you to dig into it and turn it into your perfect guitar. That's what I've done and it's become an absolute tone machine!
My first, my favourite
This is my first really good electric that I've ever owned, and I absolutely love it. However, I recommend switching out the stock pickups. They sound great with the stock ones, but they sound even better with some Seymour Duncans or many other great pickup brands! Overall, a nice guitar to play, both sound and feel wise.
The go- to
Pops gave this one to me when i was 11. I now play it live all the time at age 21. I've got the bridge pinned down without tremolo and tune locks put on it. Aesthetic changes are only that of a tortoise shell pick guard, instead the plain white.
That's a nice-ass guitar to get when you're 11. Especially at your dad's expense. Awesome!
My best girl
This is the ax I've waited my whole life to play. It's a great instrument right out of the box, but I will be adding modifications to it as time passes. I am enjoying playing it as is at the moment, but know I will want more punch out of my pick ups than these will ever give me. Experimentation is key, and in time, I will know what I am looking for when I hear it/them. In the meantime, I will enjoy her extra smooth neck and fretboard as is while I explore the tonal possibilities this gem will undoubtedly provide. I'm new to playing again, and can't wait to see what she and I can come up with. I'm no pro, I just love to play the blues and some hard rock and have always wanted a strat, glad I finally found her.
Right on, if you don't mod your strat then why get one? They are the ideal mod platform! You'll figure out what you want to improve on it, go for it, then after a few 100 gigs change your mind and gut the old girl again! Strats are so fun like that.
Just got this
I've always been a bassist but recently decided to get a guitar and of course I wanted to get that one guitar that can play practically all music genres perfectly, so I picked up a good old strat. Great guitar
While I already have a strat, this is on the want list for the maple fingerboard, pickups, and craftsmanship these are known for. The sunburst and olympic white colors are beautiful.
