:D Blues Junior amp is an example of Fender. It's inexpensive, has an all-tube signal path, works well, and is simple.

The Strat is similar. My Highway One with the great new intonation and saddle fine-tuning from the skilled artisans at Wild West Guitars and Custom Shop Texas Special pickups gives nothing up to any guitar from anybody anywhere ever, for less than $600. Is a PRS really going to be better? The birds are cool. Is a Gibson going to be better? For some music when you want the heavy humbucker sound like to play ZZ Top or Led Zeppellin, which I don't play as they do because I use my Strat for everything. Is Ibanez or Yamaha better? Probably, since those are Japanese quality-obsessed companies, you don't get a dead pickup when you order Fat50s from the Custom Shop like I did, but you also don't get the feel, the heritage, the vibe, or really the expertise about tone and true understanding that Fender brings. The big rap on Fender has always been poor quality control, but I've never seen it except in those Custom Shop Fat50s. Everything from China and Mexico works great, and buying from GC or someplace reputable and going to a reputable installer protects you if there's a glitch. Bottom line: Fender is the way to go. Play it before you take it unless you can't because it's a set of Custom Shop Fat50s and then maybe forget them (unless you're getting the $5000 Cruz-built relics) because they might not work and go for some excellent Texas Specials like SRV, Knopfler and others.
