I am looking to add a Strat type guitar to my arsenal...i believe a thread I posted somewhere , Cliff or Matt perhaps said everyone should have a single coil pickup guitar in the collection. All i have are humbucker guitars but my ears yearn for the sounds of Knopfler, Gilmore and the like. I imagine Bilbo telling Gandalf "mountains, Gandalf, Mountains!"
I don't know much about Fenders in particular and I'd like to spend about $700-900 (i'm using USD as most here are from the States). Any tips you can offer would be appreciated in terms of what to watch for and what to avoid. ARe there any 'bad years' in models for instance? I'm sure a guy could find a decent MiM strat also for cheaper yeah? would an HSS strat defeat the point of getting a single coil guitar? Please share your thoughts and words of advice!
