In my brief moment of strat ownership, I listened to Yo La Tengo almost constantly, whilst pretty much chanting the above like a mantra. Still sold the fucker, mind. Wouldn't have done if it hadn't have been my only guitar, though. I just resented it for not being a Jag or Jazz.

I think its a great addition to your collection hurb, no one needs an excuse to own a Strat. It should be mandatory

I just thought of a few wonderfull Strat tones (dont worry, no Malmstain content lolz)...

Cool as fuck, YYY's

The Edge is still one of my favourate guitarists/delay pioneers, he had a great sound here

You gotta have the man and he was at his peak here imo. how to make a Strat talk....

+1 I love hurb's spazz-out solos.

I like the squier vintage modified better. it has all the modern features like the CP strat but without the 2-point trem that I haet.

The necks are amazing especially on the 60's classic vibe strat... shame as a prefer the looks of the 50s.... almost wish I'd bought one instead of the tele now...

Which one you gunning for ?

Nice strat hurb...

Great to see you rocking it man. I never used the trem so kept it uber flat with 3 springs screwed in pretty tight.

So you're in Jazzy mood these days? Guess you're bored of that Jag then...

Sounds good Hurb - Strats are great, everyone should own one

you people are making me want a CP/CV strat now.

that's another to throw in the "not for a good few years" pile.

The daft thing is... even the Squier Affinity Strats are good, you could pick one up for Â£50 on the right day.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 3:55 pm

i had one and i didn't like the pickups or the way the neck felt.
it's possible i had a dud but i'd prefer to go further up the chain next time.

although james has that set of strat pups in the classifieds... if i had some money i would consider picking up an affinity and those pups.

i can't fault my classic player strat, my gripes with it being too bright were mainly down to my amp.

. you played my strat a lot that weekend lol

Can't deny that mate. that was the first strat I played for any length of time, and it was really nice.

I have played a few since then including a superish strat I played at namm for like 2 days straight. so yeah I guess I had to own one, one day.
I wanna see how it handles my heavier strings and normal noisey setup.

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 10:13 pm

what gauge do you use? i have 12's on my strat and it handles those quite well. i have 5 springs on the trem too.

Post by **Hurb** » Sat Feb 14, 2009 10:17 pm

I use 12's too. at the moment I think it has 10's on. I removed one of the springs. so it only has 2. I need a fluid tremolo on it with those strings that stays in tune as good as my jazzy, so that will be the test if I keep the guitar or not.
