This Is What A Strat Should Sound Like

[Guanjyn]

"I just had to get a Strat that costs thousands of dollars."

[peachfoot]

This is the story I’m gonna tell to my wife when I buy the next strat

[GiacomoVaccari]

Literally every Strat and start knockoff does that tone

[Sam-lbbs]

“I’ve always hated playing strats because my tone sucks”

[skullduggery]

They get better sounding as YOU get better. That's when you understand their versatility.

[simondaws]

I don’t think it’s just Strats. Guitars are very personal and sometimes you just don’t bond with a particular one. The guitar needs to feel like it’s an extension of you the player. Otherwise it’s just a bit of wood and wire. Nice sounding Strat you have.

[diegooliveirabenjamin]

Not a strat guy till he found a boutique strat. You’re not a “strat guy” my guy

[entithicc]

"ive always hated playing strats because i cant find the eq knobs on my amp"

[joshuagarcia]

Have yall not heard Tim Henson talk about “Mojo”. Thats when a specific guitar speaks to you and makes a connection with you and naturally comes to you and makes you want to play it. This guy couldn’t play comfortably on a strat until he found this one because this one had mojo. Keep in mind this was said by TIM FREAKING HENSON. Leave this guy alone he found an instrument that fitted him and was exactly what he wanted and felt right to him. That’s a good thing.

Everyone is a Strat guy at one point or another, just depends on the repertoire and the sound and mood you are trying to strike. Same thing with Les Pauls.

[James-egnf]

It’s ok to not like strats. We don’t need to feel
obligated to like anything.

[Banzo_]

Tone and sound and all that aside... A stratocaster is probably one of the most comfortable feeling guitars I've played.

[mymusicaljesus]

All my friends either played Strats or some form of a Gibson, but I have always loved Teles 🤷🏽‍♂️

[SexyplexiGT]

To me it's hard to beat Clapton's strat sound during the mid to late 70's

[jakehunt]

That makes sense. I love the feel of my Les Paul more than my other guitars. I realized the 2008 LPs have an asymmetrical neck which I now learned I gravite to!

[LukeMosse]

You just found a strat with the right set of pickups.

[brianjames]

Had the same issue my friend. Settled on a thinline Tele for years, but recently found a custom shop strat that I adore.

[clicheguevara]

I own lots of great strats but the only one I play regularly is my ‘73. It’s just special.

[HAMMERHEAD-gh]

I've played for close to 30 years. Pretty accomplished guitar player and I love strats because they're lightweight and there's nothing like the sound of that neck pickup. It gives you such a bluesy tone.

[EdKidgell]

Exactly. I tried 12 different Strats before buying my Fernandes. 30+ years ago, and I'm still loving it.
