I owned an USA made SSS Strat in the early 1990's and another one in the mid 1990's. I had to sell both in the late 1990's.

I decided to buy a new USA made Strat in late 2004. I decided to go with the HSS configuration. I was never able to bond with it. It lacked Strat "mojo" or something. I sold it.

Now I own a Jimmie Vaughan Strat (SSS). I love it. It get's all the tones I want from a Strat. I can't recommend the JV Strat enough. It is one of the best guitar values on the market (IMO).

The only changes I made were cosmetic: I replaced the stock 1 ply, white pickguard with a 4 ply, tortoise pickguard. I also swapped the white covers and knobs with aged covers and knobs.

Here's a picture of it:

I have a Strat copy but I've played HSS Strats, and I much prefer the single coil at the bridge than a humbucker.

However, if you're going for a 'bucker, go Supersized....er I mean Double Fat. =)]]> Opinions and Polls Itchard https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/standard-strat-vs-fat-strat/#post-214309 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/standard-strat-vs-fat-strat/#post-214219 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 05:48:57 +0000 Opinions and Polls The Dali https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/standard-strat-vs-fat-strat/#post-214219 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/standard-strat-vs-fat-strat/#post-214184 Wed, 13 Dec 2006 01:12:18 +0000 Opinions and Polls TwistedLefty https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/standard-strat-vs-fat-strat/#post-214184 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/standard-strat-vs-fat-strat/#post-214173 Tue, 12 Dec 2006 23:55:00 +0000 IMHO, Strats ARE signle coil instruments.

Overstock.com has some squiers on sale, some great deals too. If I wasn't drowning in guitars I would buy one from them. Another Option might be the Squier 51, a ton of people on this forum own atleast one.
