Post 'em if you've got 'em!

'95 American Strat in Olympic white (Beat to hell) with maple board, (Also worn in) and a brand new All Parts Strat Whammy bar (Not a scratch on it )

Guitar is down 1/2 step

1968 Japanese Re-issue

 

[Mark. A]

I don't have one, but boy do I have a soft spot for the S.R.V model

 

[Popsyche]

This was my main guitar until I found the JEMs and UNI's

This is a 1983 '57 Vintage model in ok shape. Very Stratty sounding! Everything is original except for the Duncan Antiquity in the bridge position.

Also used to own a 50th anniversary strat.

Didn't like the pickups, and it just didn't feel like a strat to me.
I sold it a few weeks before moving to Ontario.

Still have the headphones, dont have the crybaby from hell, the cab, or the guitar that those green dunlop straps are attached to though

No like-y?

No had to sell it, wasnt using it as much since I got into 7 strings, and by selling it I got my Laney tube head and Digig RP20
Now I regret getting rid of it

Someday I'd like to build a Warmoth strat, with:

green transparent alder body, no pickguard
white Vintage Noiseless singles
reversed strat headstock solid birdseye maple neck, scalloped 12-22.
hardtail with Graphtech Ghost piezos

That'd be an F'ing hot strat.

I always end up trying to play like Yngwie when i have a Strat in my hands, which is weird.

If ya look at my guitar I thought the same way the only thing it didnt have wa the scalloped fretboard(which I decided not to do cuza no one would buy it) Had the same p/us, fretwire, brass nut(not pictured), strap, color, even tuning keys!

'97 American Standard Stratocaster. This one's coming up on her 10th anniversary, though while she was made in '97 I didn't buy her until Nov '98 (I've got a pick with the date in the case as a memento).

Man that strato it's so malmsteen ish, i love it, the same hard and the same strap!

That's the only strato that rocks!

I have a strato, but i used the neck to do another guitar, i didn't like the strato sound, only for malmsteen licks.

I do always the same with a strato, i start playing some blues but then i have to turn the distor and finish playing some neo clasical stolen paganini metal

Here's mine, acquired in 2000 ( a gift from my dad on my 24th b-day )~

Every guitarist should have a Strat in their arsenal.
