I was just cleaning and setting up my gigging Strats and thought I would post a group picture for all to see:

Except for the silver Strat in the middle, (which is a 2005 US Standard), I built the other 4 with all US Fender Parts. The outside 2 are hardtails and all but 1 have the S-1 switching setup. As you can see, I love the Hwy1 necks but I don't really like the rest of the Hwy1 guitar so I built my own to my taste. I'm not saying the Hwy 1 guitar is not good, I just don't care for the vintage trem, pickups, or finish. Anyway each of these guitars have their own feel and tone and I like all of them:)
Peace,
tfancil

PS: Maybe I could get my own signature model;)

nice guitars!

They all look great!

Thanks guys! I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and gigging for over 25 and have owned just about every type of guitar made and I just keep coming back to Fender Strats. Leo's body design is perfect for me! You just can't buy a more comfortable guitar to play, unless it is a over-priced copy of a Strat

Hello Tfancil,

That's a nice Stratocaster collection you have there,
also nice, is the arrangement for the photo.
Thanks for the pics.

Cheers.

Very nice - thanks for sharing.

I like the contrasting look of the first two.

Tune Low, Play Hard & Floor it!

Thanks, those are the two that I use the most for gigging and they both have the black tweed cases We tune to E flat and we drop D a few songs so I use the black hardtail for the drop tuning stuff. I play in a rock cover band so I use the other guitars at home in standard tuning to learn the songs.
I avoided the single coil bridge guitars for many years but since I have a couple now, I'm growing more and more attached to them. Also the SCN pickups are so quiet I can even use them with my XT Live hooked up to my computer without that over-bearing hum!

love the 2nd one from the left.

you're a lucky man and you have a beautiful family!

NICE

The white Strat is my favorite too. It actually is a transparent white and you can see the ash grain through the finish, but you can't tell from the picture. I was lucky to find that body. It is a 2001 and is in almost new condition.

I see that!

I like the HWY1 neck too. I didn't like the satin finish on the body of my HWY1 HSS, so I gave it a good glossing! Now it's fine, IMO.

My other guitar is a Strat.

Delicious collection, good on you!

Well like me I see you prefer Rosewood necks. Just a great group of axes and a nice variety of colors.
