well, i finally got the chance to play a fender stratocaster.. i played it through a crate half stack. I wasnt all that impressed by the guitar truthfully. it was nice has real low action and sounded great. but, the playability wasnt that great. I was more impressed with the amp LOL. The necks are pretty thick on them too. personally i think my ibanez plays better. But still, it was cool, and i jamed out with a 10 year old drummer, and his dad on hermonica (sp). i just played some blues riffs, but it was fun. If that kid sticks to hte drums, he will be awsome in a few years..

I have yet to find a Strat that I like. Sure, you hear them being played and your like " that sounds good". Then you play one, and yuck. Everytime I play one the action is terrible and I can't seem to get a nice sound out of it. Our singer has one and its alright but it constantly needs be set-up..by lucky ol' me too.

I find Tele's have alot more umph. They never need to be set-up ( alright once in a while ) and they look way better...and...well...they are better. :D

haha. i think i would still like to own one. But i like teles too.

i think i will stick to ibanez for awile. I really like the way mine plays. I would like to set a Saber body though.

yeah, i played with a fender standard strat for awile. i liked it- but the buzz got annoying and it didnt have great sustain.

so i switched to an SG. it can do just about everything a strat can, but it doesnt buzz, has great sustain, and a faster and more accessable neck.
