I've said it before, everyone ought to own a few Strats. Two of them in this photo could be bought.

The ultimate white Strat, hardtail, Clapton electronics, basswood body, and maple neck, $1000. OR, you can have the 1960, sunburst, rosewood neck for about $30,000. Take your pick! The The 1954 reissue prototype, also with Clapton electronics, built for me by John Page at the Fender Custom Shop is NOT FOR SALE.

Fender humbuckers, Dove P-90's in an Ash body, stock American Standard, plus a stock Ash Tele.

Pretty much got it covered for Fender stuff.

 

(In the background you'll see a couple of Guilds - Starfire III hollow body, Blues Bird with P-90's.)

Strats dont really do it for me but i love my telecaster.

However i was at the pink floyd experience recently and the lead guitarist was playing what looked like a strat in a natural wood finish (dark brown) with a polished metal scratchplate and it looked pretty cool

i just got a white sg and now all the sudden i want a strat really bad does anyone think thats a problem (i fell like a traitor).:-k

 

I hate Strats. You could go for something better if you want single coil pickups or a Fender. Fender makes a lot of solid guitar like the Jazzmaster, Jaguar, or thin line Tele. Why go so pedestrian with your tone?

Pedestrian?

 

My Three Strats all have very different Timbers and Voices' date=' none of which I'd describe as Pedestrian.

 

 

Did you change the pups in you Buddy Guy strat? I thought they came with Lace Sensors too.

The MIA does, this one is MIM. It has "Hotter than Standard" pickups, which sound a lot like Tex-Mex to me. I left this one original, I only use it on special occasions since they don't offer the Red and White version anymore.

Good to know. I saw one in sunburst w/ Lace Sensors. I love the look oof the 50s neck and headstock and I'm a big fan of Lace Sensors. It was def Buddy Guy sig.

The MIA Buddy Guy is a very Impressive Instrument. 25db booster (The Clapton model only has 15db booster)' date=' and the Lace Sensor PUs really make it a nice Guitar. The only thing that he two models share is the one piece Deep V neck, I believe, and that is a very comfortable neck.

 

The MIM version is a real nice guitar, too. Just less a few frills. Personally I don't like to put Batteries in my Guitar, so I stay away from db Boosters and Active Pick Ups, and I just loved the Red and White Polka Dots [lol
