I have a 20th Anniversary edition and it's well built and still looks good after over 15 years of constant playing. It could use some hotter pickups but thats about all.
My MIM Classic Series 70's Stratocaster reminds me of my old Strat but with a lot less weigh and it stays in tune a lot better. The pickups sound decent. They're good for blues and psychedelic rock.

Ever style of music has been played on a Stratocaster. With three pickups and it's Synchronized Tremolo Bridge it's a very versatile instrument. Several million have been produced since 1954.

It's great when you need a light amp. I get good tones for jazz on the clean channel and I downloaded a Fender Deluxe patch that sounds pretty nice for blues jams.

I practice with one of these a lot and just plug straight in. The overdrive is great for a heavy blues sound. Mike it up if you're gigging with it.
It has good crisp cleans and the overdrive channel is sweet and can go a little into fuzz territory. It's also very portable.

I've been using Cry Baby Wah's since I first start playing the guitar many years ago.

I use a Moog expression pedal to control the speed on my Electro Harmonix Good Vibes pedal. It has knob on the side to fine tune the sensitivity and a polarity switch on the bottom.
It's a nice modulation pedal, but it doesn't go over the top if you want it to. It also has a jack for an expression pedal.
I use the TC Mojomojo as a clean boost. I works to beef up an already distorted sound or to make a wah sound really meaty.
With the Joyo Voodoo Octave you get a pretty sweet sounding fuzz pedal with the ability to go an octave up. The fuzz can go from harsh and hairy to warm and fuzzy. The octave can be kind of like a subtle Octavia on up to a synthy sort of sound. One great thing about the Joyo Voodoo Octave is the ability to use it has just a fuzz pedal since the octave is controlled by it's own footswitch.
The sound is kind of a cross between a phase shifter and a Uni-Vibe. It's Hendrix like on the faster setting and adds color on the slower speeds. I like being able to adjust the rate on the fly too.
I use the Vox wah in my Hendrix setup. It's a little different from a Dunlop Crybaby.
I use it to get a nice, thick tone. It can also do a thin sounding distortion too.
It's almost a Tube Screamer. I've been gigging with it for several months and it's still going.
It's part of my old school Hendrix setup. It runs on a 9 volt battery and can be temperamental.
It's like a standard Germanium Fuzz Face, but smaller.
It has no knobs, just a foot switch and an indicator light. With single notes it plays a straight octave up, but when two notes are played it has a growling fuzzy sound.
The JH-1B has a nice, thick, deep wah sound. It's very Vox like.

I use this one I feel like being old school. It runs on a 9 volt battery.
It sounds similar to the wedge shaped Octavio, but a more predicable sound, plus it's smaller and you can use an AC adapter with it.

Curly cables deaden highs a little. Vox makes good ones that last a while. I have one with over two years constant use and it's going strong.
