I'm sure its just me...

But I'm finding that I'm not a big fan of Super Strats. Like. At all really.

Anyone else see them and think, 'meh'?

 

[GunpointMetal]

I'd prefer other body styles, but there are many more important features for me that exclude a lot of options without going full custom, so I'll deal with it.

No, and once Amazon takes over production (which they will with everything) it should be the only shape allowed.

I stand corrected.

With a compulsory built in microphone? YES!!

You are required to like the same stuff I do. Now I have to talk shit as required by the rules of the internet.

I don't hate them, but they're boring as fuck. Of course, I love dumb shapes like Schecter Avengers and most varieties of explorer. Super strats tend to be the most comfortable guitars to me, but I just don't like them.

 

[sleewell]

grew up playing strats so they feel pretty normal to me. i would agree they are comfortable but can get boring in the looks dept.

 

[BenjaminW]

Some are cool, some are horrendous.

 

[Necris]

They're generally not "exciting" to look at, but that's not enough of a dealbreaker for me that I wouldn't buy one if it played well.

 

[KnightBrolaire]

I find super strats in general to be boring.

I greatly prefer star shapes and offsets over just about any other shape anymore.

 

[CM_X5]

It's not only you, I find they only really look good because of the color/wood/parts on it but then it's kind of the perfect "blank canvas" in that regard.

 

[akinari]

I like everything except V shapes to be honest, which sucks because I've played some really killer ones that had great feeling necks and sounded amazing, but having to stand up every time I wanted to play it would be annoying. Some telecasters feel like planks, but I still love them.

 

[Demiurge]

I don't dislike them but sometimes it feels like they're 95% of the market. It would be nice for more unique shapes or at least for other traditional shapes to get a workout.

 

[Noisy Humbucker]

I hated them until I played a Billy Corgan Strat while I was at a shop waiting to order a Jim Root Tele (~10 years ago). Since then the Stratocaster has become my overall favorite body (preferably with a satin finish).

I only have one proper Super-Strat guitar as I aim for diversity with my modest collection, but if I had to pick an overall favorite it’d be my So-Cal (modded to appear more Strat-like).

Sometimes boring is good - it allows other things to shine. And it's difficult to go wrong.

But I'm preferring the body shapes on many headless designs. Well, the well-designed ones, at least. Not the 'quirky' random lump of wood with a stick attached.

 

[diagrammatiks]

telecasters are confirmed the best body.

 

[DrakkarTyrannis]

Super strats are boring as fuck to me. I've seen some really nice ones but at the end of the day it's nice FOR a superstrat and not something I'd want.

That being said, I prefer big bodied guitars like MLs and wild shapes and Vs. If it's not big enough to rest on my leg while standing then I'm not all that interested

 

[KailM]

Doesn't matter as long as it delivers the brootz. /thread.

 

[ArtDecade]

I don't care for Super-Strats, but I sure do love regular, run of the mill Stratocasters.
