Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a new Strat (after playing an incredible Custom Shop NOS 57) – I want something that has excellent tone for Blues Rock/Stones stuff. Took a shine to a used Eric Clapton model after playing some new Am Standards, Specials and Deluxe models. Seriously thinking of ordering a new one.

However, Fender offers so many models that the guitar stores in my area don't carry, so it's hard to make a real decision when I can't play my options.

Thought I'd reach out to the pros and get your opinions on the guitar or recommendations on something better/similar. Thanks guys.

I've had mine for about two years now, truth be told, it was my first strat.
I haven't found anything comparable... just my opinion though..
Good luck

Bill

Why didn't you buy the used one?
If it sounded good,I would take that over a new one I had not played before I bought it.

Why didn't I buy the used one? An excellent question.

The wife will only let me get a new guitar if it's red.

The used one was – big surprise – black.

Now this model does come in torino red, but it'll end up costing another $400 over the price of the used one. You'd think she would cave at that point.

No dice.
