GMC Forum _ GEAR & PRODUCTION _ Which guitar?? 50s or 70s

Posted by: lespaulkevin Jun 27 2006, 09:49 PM

Hi i plan on buying a new guitar. I want a fender stratocaster with a tremeloand a maple neck. Anywho I was wondering which one you guys think is better, if you've played it or own it etc. I play mostly classic rock and blues so if you could give me your opinions it would be appreciated greatly.

If your into classic rock, you should get the 70's strat hands down. The sound and looks are classic. The giant headstock looks badass already plus the single coils from the 70's had more bite. I personally think 60's and 70's guitars play better than the 50's. smile.gif
