If you go out and buy yourself a Fender Stratocaster knowing what it is, then why on God's green earth would you want to change it in the 1st place?

Because they are the ultimate test-bed for customization with a zillion options available because countless companies make parts made for a direct fit into a Strat. There are more options available for a Strat than ANY other guitar, period.


Plus some of us enjoy "modding" a guitar. Whether cosmetically or sonically, it makes it uniquely ours (a true "custom" in my opinion).

I'm a big advocate of changing pickups. Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, and many others produce pickups that are superior to the stock ones supplied by Fender (or any other manufacturer).

The largest question left after modding your Fender to the point of changing the body and neck is, "Why did you buy a Fender if you didn't want what Fender has to offer?"


I agree.

i don't change anything on my guitar. I just buy the guitar after the sound and neck that I want. A few happen to be Fenders. :D
