Greetings,
I need an expert's advice: I have the privilege to choose between a subsonic strat(2001), or a vg strat (2007), or an american deluxe (1997). All of the 3 go for about the same price, but I'm hesitating. I've read enough about the subsonic and the vg (and I kinda like the vg best), but I guess the deluxe is a much better guitar, is that right??
help please

there's an easy answer- get the guitar you like best. you will be the one playing it. whatever feels the most comfy for you, and gives you the sound you want is the right one.

all are great guitars-and if the vg is what you want, go for it. it is a versatile guitar, and if the batteries die on you, you have a regular strat to play.

good look with your choice, but most of all have fun

btw - welcome to the forum. we have a lot of knowledgable people on board, so don't be shy about asking questions

I would get the deluxe because it would make me happy. So do what I would do and get what makes you happiest.

The Subsonic catered for guitarists seeking for that 7-string rage in a 6-string configuration. Discontinued.

Get the one that will make you happy.

I would choose the Sub-Sonic. I can't even find one!

Hey Steve,

I saw that you were looking for a Subsonic Strat awhile back. Are you still in the market for one? My friend asked me to sell his on eBay.

PM me your e-mail and I can shoot you some pictures if you're interested.

Suggest simply requesting "PM me about this" would be keeping within the spirit of the guidelines and still permit us to help each other out with a specific question.

The VG is a very versatile guitar, [ I own one..an AmDlx FSR], electronically complex, and requires attention to the power supply. It's the kind of instrument I would not keep the batteries in [or in the holder, for that matter] unless I was using the guitar. I don't trust batteries not to leak and damage gear. The AmDlx also has much tonal versatility with th S-1 system, but not as many voices as the VG. The baritone is just that. The VG will give you that voicing as well.
You have to decide for yourself how this gear will be used, and which will serve your all around purpose. Keep us posted.
