i'm going to buy a new guitar pretty soon, an expensive one that i'm going to have for the next 10-20 years (maybe longer), so i need a nice guitar!
i've been thinking about buying a fender stratocaster, i like the blues (metal can also be nice from time to time ) and i wonderet wich stratocaster i should buy to get the best sound o: i've been looking at models like a '57 vintage hot rod or a '62 vintage hot rod link for the '57 hot rod: http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0100132809 link for the '62 hot rod: http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0100140846 i do not understand the derict differences between the 2 of them, the description of the pickups for example o: if anyone find other guitars that they can recommand i'll gladly listen i'm willing to pay around 15.000 danish kroner. its a little more then 2500 dollars hope to here from all of you! |

I don't know a lot about different Fender models but could a Suhr Classic Strat be an option to think about?
The 57 has a soft V shape neck while the 62 has a C shape. Imo I think a C shape feels comfortable. And the 57 has a maple neck while 62 has rosewood. Maple is brighter in tone, I prefer rosewood so I'd pick the 62 if it stands between the two. besides that it looks more vintage with it's normal bridge pickup. Both have 21 frets so it's "real" vintage Fenders. -------------------- My bands homepage

Well, if you wanna that classic strat sound, then I think 62 is the way to go. They both have similar specs, only different pickups.
If you need a modern stratocaster for blues and metal, then maybe the first strat is a better option, so you don't have to change the pickups later. You will change the bridge anyway, so it is maybe better to buy it with ToneZone in the bridge right away. Personally I would suggest that you buy a strat from a store, and tryout as many strats as you can. You will be surprised how much you can learn by simply trying out 15 differents strats in stores. When you find the one you want in the store, either order the same model from the web, or buy it in the store. I wouldn't suggest buying from the net if you haven't tried the guitar. Strats have distinct sound, but the models vary in quality, so it is good to get a good model in the store. Good luck mate -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
