Practice, practice, practice...

I use mine for throwing at women to see if they can catch. I mean, a woman who can't catch a Strat is no use to anyone, right?

I play everything on mine. I see it as the goto guitar that gets me roughly the sound I want. Bit of tweaking on outboard stuff, mess with the switch, volume and tone controls and I'm about there.

No no and no

i was wondering if theres any metal guitarist here who use their strat for drop tuning . like Drop C or drop B with .54 string gauge ??

im thinking of mexican standard hss and switch the bucker and file the nut and make a drop tuning guitar with it . with .52 string gauge .

im sure they will could make decent guitar even if they are not Mahogany .



should take it rosewood or maple fretboard ????

Weezer's guitarist usually plays an SG or a Les Paul.
I only use my Stratocaster for the Low E and A strings. If I want to use any of the other 4, I switch to my Gibson.

To play music and scare the cats once in a while.

Classic Rock
Metal
Thrash
Blues

I love my two Stratocasters. They are extremely diverse guitars.

Face down with heavy strings it's a great luge (go the Winter Olympics!!). Mostly it makes me feel good enough that I can go to work every day - which means I can save for my next one!

Lets see i use mine as a pillow on the tour bus..

A counter weight when walking threw airports otherwise i would fall over without having a guitar in each hand...

I also use it as a close hanger in hotel rooms when i'm to tired at 4:00 in the morning to hang close up..

My constant companion because ive been on the road so much that i spend more time holding that strat then i do my wife and kids..

I have also tried using it as a bow and arrow but i could never get the arrow to fly very far..

I guess you could say i also use it as a tool because it is how i make my living..Well actually i would play the guitar for free ..I like to feel i get paid for all the traveling staying away from my family three weeks at a time setting up tearing down and moving equipment..But i would play for free..

But to be serious i own other guitars and do use other guitars for some of the tunes we do..But my go to guitar the guitar i write and try out new ideas 99.9% of the time will be my Strat..

Hmmm lets see....I use mine to stop my wife from talking when she goes on and on about fabric softner and red tea kettles....and it's really good for these purposes........see ceri's post for more info on wife relations and strats
