Well, what kind of music to stratocaster players play?

Also it's a modular guitar. Break a part? Just replace it with any of the billion of choices available.

i make it short: timeless, simple, beatiful
and versatile, feels at home in handling

cheers

Both kinds....original and covers.

A great electric guitar is one that has excellent quality, durability, aesthetics, reliability, feel, and has a vast nearly infinite range of musical tones that can be had given a skilled player is in command. The Fender Stratocaster satisfies every one of these criteria and then some. ^^

Stratocaster players only play stratosphere music located between 10 km (6 miles) and 50 km (31 miles) above the earth's surface.

Just like Telecaster players only play television music. That's why you've never seen a Stratocaster on TV. It just won't work. That's the rules, I tells ya.


Just kidding There are no rules when it comes to guitars, Fender or others. Strats are used for every style of music. Blues, heavy metal, funk, rock, rockabilly, country, etc, etc. Check out this link keeping in mind it's only the tippity top of the tip of the iceberg of well known Strat players.
