Are Any Of You Bored With Stratocasters?

[cebreez]

Sorry... A little refrain. Im not downing Strats in the least nor am I regaling my PV as the end all be all. Just saying its my "home" and that is the only reason I don't have a Strat. I do have other guitars I pick up "mostly PV's" because I like experimenting with different styles and tones. The one thing that my T-60 won't do is the sound of a good semi-hollow. For that I have a Peavey JF-1. Definitely a purist guitar because it hates pedals but loves the tubes.

Man time flies, it has been a year and I still feel the same. I rarely play my Strats, or even my new Teles. I have gone more to my SGs and Lps. It is amazing how many Strats I have. I must have been in love with them at one time. I will keep several of them because they are pretty guitars.

I wouldn't say I'm so much bored with my strat as much as I wish I had another solid body electric. The Gibson is still my primary electric but there are plenty of times I use the strat that I wish it was a Tele. I really only like the humbucker sound. The middle settings I rarely if ever use and the neck pickup really just reminds me that I wish it was a Tele.

This was my solution to that problem.

Sweet.

They're cheap.

Bored with Stratocasters? That's impossible.

My answer:

So was this when I first got it. Shaped like a tele but the closest thing I have left to a strat.



$129 Brand new at the local music store. Now it seems to be at $200 and higher. Truth is I've picked these up several times in the music stores just to strum around on and none of them have ever felt like this. It was set up perfectly at the store.

This was my solution to that problem.

What guitar is that, Spud? It sure is pretty. What's the body made out of (i.e. what kind of wood)?

[Spudman***]

Eric - That is a now discontinued Squier Telecaster Special and the body is Agathis.

cebreez - I have one of those in sunburst. Great guitar.

[cebreez]

Nice burst Spudman! Yeah I like it alot. Its my backup guitar and sometimes my travel guitar. Been thinking hard about a pup change though. Throw some texas heat into it. But I would need a long day to do it cause I have a strange feeling I would swap them back by the end of the day.

Duly noted on my holiday wish list.
