Funny thing about guitars (to me) is how everyone seems to want the same instrument. Don't understand why Strats, for example are so prevalent. I happened to be watching a video today and the band was on a small stage. They all had Strats, but in different colours. I t was kind of amusing. I don't think they intended that, just that is what has happened: everyone owns the same thing. (An exaggeration to be sure, but just making a point.)
And, I'm not knocking Strats, I just wonder what that magic is that makes them what they are in the industry.
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
