Re: Hey, Strats don't suck!
I'm a big fan of a Strat through a DRRI, but not as fond of a Tele through the same amp.
Re: Hey, Strats don't suck!
yep, sexy, curvy, comfortable and sweet sounds....all attributes of a good.....strat. :ahem :)
Re: Hey, Strats don't suck!
Strats are really great guitars....for slide.
I tried playing fretted on one a few weeks ago and it was very uncomfortable for me. To each their own.

Offshore Angler, all I have to say is... DUH!
Re: Hey, Strats don't suck!
I really like the sound FenderBoy had going with his Jimmie Vaughn into his DR(RI? I think) at the NE Jam. With that touch of echo from the Boss Delay, real nice sound.
Re: Hey, Strats don't suck!
I agree, Strats don't suck. :)
Re: Hey, Strats don't suck!
I made the decision just recently that I'm a Strat guy and put the Tele up for sale. Not that I can't play it, but I'm just more comfortable with a Strat.
If you can't afford to have guitars just to have guitars, you have to own the few that are most true to your heart.
Re: Hey, Strats don't suck!
The Les Paul and/or the 335 are my desert island/skid row guitars. But short of that, the ol' Stratski and me get along really well. A little harder to bend strings, sure, (especially if you like .011's like me and are thinking of .012's) but they have a sound and vibe that I can't do without short of the poor house. Gotta have The Cluck...
