I was at GC to get my line 6 POD. I spent some time in the electric section playind a few strats, even an SRV model. I was impressed with that one but really didnt want to pay whaqt they wanted for it. I also played a Jimmie Vaughan and a few used strats. Nothing reaqlly impressed me other than the SRV. So I just bought my POD and some other odds n ends. I d stil lie to get an SRV but maybe a used one.
