Time for a change...

And this is my intended goal...
http://media.fmicdirect.com/squier/images/products/guitars/0310005532_frt_wlg_001.jpg

I'm about done with my Squire '51 telestrat. It's great for Jazz with the Charlie Christian I put in it...but I cannot get the strat tones that I seek with it. There is no other alternative BUT to get a strat for the John Mayer/Hendrix/gospel tones I am aiming for.

Position 2 has me by the soul-strings and there's no substitute for that fundamental sound.

I HAVE to have a strat!

Hi detman ,good too see you back again. Maybe you can sell the telestrat and find a regular strat, I have a mexican made strat and it sounds as good as a american made,and sells for a lot cheaper.

Re: Time for a change...

look at AXL strats and Rondo.  dont know what you feel like spending.   W/ a good set up and fret file (which every guitar needs no matter what) the AXLs are pretty nice for teh low cost.

+1 on Rondo....I have an SX SST strat copy. Better than most Mexi Fenders I've played
