The Coolest Strat thread?

[crankster]

Post em so we may all bash or compliment. Suhr and all other boutique stuff counts... Lets discuss.

My brothers in Christ...
This is NOT a cool strat, I will fight you.

*I would require a $40K payment to myself to just play it through my rig once. Don't bring it near me.
Wouldn't you rather go on your own acid trip and take a sharpie to your high end strat instead?
Much cheaper man. Peace and love, or whatever.

I tried owning a strat, and even a Silver Sky... it hasn't worked out, yet.

Super Strat , Fender Highway 1 body and Warmoth neck . Currently has a Tone Nerd Roxy pickup. One of these days I`d like to get one with the traditional S/S/S setup

Mine?

My Gibsons and various superstrats never get the attention this thing does. Custom Shop in relic’d Aztec Gold. Had several pickup sets before I found the Van Zandt Vintage Plus set.

Jeff Beck in surf green. Awesome guitar but I can't live with the center pickup and volume knob placement. Don't want to get involved in swapping the pickguard either.

This Mick Mars replica someone built is pretty rad too

Didn't the "Jeff Beck" Strat come out in the mid to late 90's ? I am pretty sure I saw it in a Sam Ash store back then.

Not really sure. This one is a 2021. The roller nut is cool and the tuning is stable as all hell. Probably should just swap the pickguard to a HS and move the volume knob.

Gilmour’s CAR Strat is what made me want to play when I was 11, nearly 30 years later, I finally have my own (MJT/Musikraft)

Rosewood body 1978 Schecter

Mahogany body Nash. Didn’t sound good enough to be a keeper, but looked really nice

Spruce body

Have you seen the price of strings for that thing?

Maybe not the "coolest", but I love this one. Built by a good friend who happens to be an amazing luthier. Its a '56 spec build with some "tweaks":... fat Pau Ferro neck with Macassar Ebony board, Callaham trem, Zhangbucker hand-wound vintage pups. He also did a '61 spec lightly relic'd thats in the background, which is also a great creation.

I love my newest Strat. One of my favorite guitars I've owned and I've owned a lot since 85'
