  1. Apparnetly this is the cool thing to do....I have a strat because I love the sound it gives, it's not my problem if Hendrix, Gilmour, Edge, SRV, Clapton, and a shitload of other guitarists love the sound a strat gives as well. I'm not going to get a "different" guitar so I can stand out, i'm going to get what sounds good.

    Agreed...if it doesn't sound good then there's no reason to get it. Sound is everything...in music at least.
  3. My guitar:



    Me playing it onstage last week- I did a one-off sort of gig with my school's choir; they were playing "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey and wanted me to play the axe; I obliged

  4. Good man
  5. A Starcaster is also on my sight, Harry... It's a "different" guitar, and moreover it looks and sounds awesome


  6. It also has an abominable price tag


  7. Really? Never found one in any of the physical stores I've been in. And haven't seeked for it on the internet...


  8. Better have long arms; you'll need to pick your jaw up off the floor He's right, the price is high, especially for students like I know we both are..


  9. That's because they're not made anymore lol. You can only get them vintage, and they're super pricey, because they're hard to come by.


  10. What the man said.

    Amen to that. There's a reason why Strats are as successful as they are - they're good. Need there be more reason to get a guitar? My Explorer is my #1 because I feel it's the best guitar, but also it has a balance to the sound - I feel it comes somewhere between the thickness and grit of a Les Paul crossed with the definition of a Strat. Speaking of Strats, I've been playing my Ridgewood copy quite a lot recently, loving clean tones on the middle/bridge pickup. My Les Paul, on the other hand...if there was one guitar I was going to consider selling, it would be that. Saying that, I'm far too attached to it lol =/

    Yeah man. And I know what you mean about being attatched to a guitar. I've gone through about 10 guitars, but I've always kept a strat. I've only had 2, a ,mexi one, and later I upgraded to an american one, which is what I use now, and I'll never sell it, it plays and sounds exactly how I want a guitar to sound and play. Perfect.


  12. A REAL (late `70's) Fender "Starcaster", like the one that Dave Keuning of The Killers and Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead use, woule be fantastic.



    Jonny Greenwood with HIS Startcaster:


    Not the cheap package Startcaster / Stratocaster wannabee's that Fender are selling in Targets and Walmarts. They are also putting out crap quality Starcaster acoustic guitars and drum kits. Shame to soil the name of what is a rare and in retrospectively, lovely guitar.

    (The orginal Starcaster being rare and lovely)

    PS - Love the April Fools bit of our names being backwards and with pics of Liam Gallagher (of all U2 haters) and the like. Funny.
