So you're talking overdriven tones ala Blackmore and Yngwie (stacked humbuckers btw :wink: ) as opposed to clean (or slightly hairy) Strat tone?

I mean Grant set fire to a ceriatone and still can't find a Strat tone he likes...lost cause? $5k-$50k on a vintage won't sound any better than $2k on a modern US, although you'll be able to keep all your credit cards in the gap of the neck pocket (psst I have a cure for that problem :wink: )
Yep, to all those. Early Gallagher is not overly hairy though, pretty awesome really. I like early Yngwie tone, which I assume is not stacked buckers yet.

Yep, Malmsteen had HS3's in his Strat for his debut solo album.

For you Grant I would have thought a Tele might be more up your alley.

Aren't you working on some alt-country album??
Nothing to see here.

There's a reason most beginners buy Strats :mrgreen:

But seriously, a man of your fine taste G, deserves the essential Fender, '52 tele in butterscotch blonde <3

Yep, see his "I wanted opinions on Teles, rather than Strats" thread. Lots of good suggestions there.

Oh chortle.

I did indeed lust for a Strat for years and my first excellent guitar was indeed a Strat Plus.

But once that old LP Special bit me I kinda feel out of love with the sound and feel. In saying this, I have played one or two that had "that" feel. And this is one of them. I have no idea what it sounds like plugged in yet.

Guys often talk about "the one" re Strats. I've never yet had "the one"....and maybe when I do I'll be able to find the creativity I get from the other side of the fence currently.
