Hi all,

I always like to have a Fender strat. But then a special one with a floyd Rose trem and Dimarzio pic ups

I have been looking all lot but they are very rare.

Now i can buy one for € 2300 ( not cheap)

What is your opinion about this one

Yeh, i wouldn't recoomend it, it even costs more than a ibanez JEM 20th anneversery (besides the tonal qualities of acrylic) and they look 10 x better.

Btw Its yngwie malmsteen i spelt it wrong

That signature model isn't bad, however somehow I find a Fender strat with floyd rose as strange as a Gibson les paul with a floyd rose .

I would rather go for an Ibanez, Jackson or ESP if you are really into dive bombs etc.

Ultimately, just go to a guitar shop, and try-out all kinds of guitars (also ones you are not really thinking about at all).... you will be surprised which ones you will like and which ones you don't.

I never expected 5 months ago that I would play a EJ strat, but that's just the way it went

Eh signature guitars aren't my thing.. You can get a custom shop guitar for that much money that's built to your specifications...

My Great grandma had a couch with that exact Paisley pattern.

That is a nice guitar...but to me a strat can only have the stock tremolo and three single coils. It is a great guitar...but not a true strat in my opinion. That's just me though...if you like it then go for it!

It's a good guitar, but I think the fact that it's a signature model makes it more expensive, so you can probably buy a strat which is equally good as that one, but which isn't a signature guitar.

Man, you could get the MOTHER of strats for that sort of cash, something like a Custom Shop Heavy 60's Relic which is a guitar that will be worth money in years to come. Strats are a very emotive subject for people, they are like marmite, you love them or you hate them!
If you want a floyd rose and Dimarzio's you would definitley be disappointed with a a typical strat sound, they are a different animal altogether, I would definitely go and try a few Ibanez models as these seem to have the metal market cornered at the moment.
At the end of the day you could pick up a high grade Ibanez AND a USA standard strat for that sort of money!

Plus of course paisley sux.

I think it might be better to spend the money on a very good Strat, and then put some Dimarzio's in yourself! If you want a Strat model with Floyd Rose, just get an Ibanez RG premier.

Hey check out Carvin guitars. EVERY single one is custom made and they're definitely in your range. It's like having a custom guitar except for cheap, OH WAIT it is custom

It's really a beautiful Strat, but too expensive. For that kind of money you can buy a killer strat. It may not look as good but it will play like a bomb.

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Feb 9 2009, 01:18 AM

I would stay away from the signature models and try to get a different strat for the money..This guitar is beautiful and all - it surly plays great but I doubt it beats other guitars at the same price...

I will look for some other one.
