Yes it is I have one, But I find it more suitable for use as a recording asset than a performance one only because it takes time to switch keys for harmony but it has some nice features including a loop function and great reverb and delays you just have to play with it to find how it best suits your needs.     

I use lighter strings on electric than my acoustic I agree there is a difference between the two, most of my composing is done on an acoustic even recording to a click track that I add electric and bass too. My style of playing is quite different on electric because you can express yourself more with effects and volume control.     

Yes on one occasion, In Las Vegas I agreed to play with a guy and his wife for a gig upstate in some small town. His wife played a Hammond organ with bass pedals and he played drums,  halfway into the gig he got ticked off at what I was saying on the mike in between songs ( it was clean) he just didn't like me and told me to take my gear and leave but I told him since I was a member of the Musicians Union he had to pay me for the gig he said no and I called the musicians union and they sent a representative while I waited. begrudgingly he forked out my money and I had no transportation home so I had to carry my amp and guitar to the highway and hitch a ride back to Las Vegas that was the only time I recall being told to leave but I did leave several bands for various reasons.

been there      

Phill I think the bottom line iis you have to go with what works for you, The Strat and Tele are two different animals I have both and notice a difference in sustain, volume, and ease of playing so you gotta trust your experience.     

WOW!!! this Strat is outstanding only one thing to make it better is to change strings. my friend who is a good player just got one and told me the same thing but other than that it plays and sounds beautiful! I will put up a video when I get the chance I am really busy with a new song and I get together tomorrow for a recording session to lay a rhythm track with the drummer
the bass and primary rhythm tracks were recorded last week along with a rhythm machine and then come the vocals and harmonies and of course a nice tasty lead solo      

Keeping my fingers crossed for you most will not except a trade in I tried that and was told to sell it on Reverb.com Happy Holidays to you and Ann      

Thanks Jim it is a beauty to be sure,  I have an ongoing account with Sweetwater for the last 10 years I run up my credit and pay it down but it seems I am always finding new toys so in effect I am leasing not owning but it works for me   To get the skills you have to practice and study if you wish to excel this is a formula for life in any endeavor      

Thanks TF I was quite smitten with the appearance and one nice feature it has is the neck is a C shape but at the top it contures into a D shape to allow easy fretting for those high screaming notes love it!      

Thanks Richard I am really looking forward to picking it

Thanks Phill, Yes it is sweet I hit 77 last month and at my age, there are few pleasures I can indulge in at least I will go happy money ain't no use when your on the other side of the dirt may as well enjoy it now      

I will reserve my opinion until I hear the recording it's hard to fathom by the chords and a few verses I do get the drift just want to hear it
