It's your $1,100. Spend it on whatever you like. Don't let someone else choose for you.

If you really do play like that then go to the store and play them all until you come across one that you can't put down. You obviously have an ear for the sound.

Do you have a high quality amp?

If not, maybe you should think about an amp instead of another guitar!

Sound, tone and that they stay in tune = most important
Thanks! :D


Seems to me the question is moot! The recommendation to choose the one which speaks to you is valid. Seems that you could wring the sound you want out of anything the company builds and, from your choice on the video, you could go for way less than $1K.

Good luck :wink:

If you are really heavy on the trem you might want to think along the lines of Neil Schon and consider an aftermarket Floyd if you can't find a Strat supplied with one.

Good luck :wink:

Yo Prantare,
Sheesh! Great playing even though it's not my style. You don't need another guitar. Save your money and keep playing that old Friend of a Fender you're spanking in the video. What's wrong with that guitar? If it ain't broke don't fix it!!

I'd use some of the $1100 on some extra strings for your current Strat and use the rest for the down payment on that small van to get your gear to the next gig.

Older guitars play better.....
