I am hoping this Christmas, or maybe later in the year if my Dad can't afford it, to get a new guitar. I've been leaning to getting the famous American Stratocaster. Haven't totally decided on colour yet, but I am also again leaning towards either the all white hendrix style, or black, guy style. Here are some pics to give an idea of the guitars. The point of the post: Can anyone help me decide? I know there are a few who are well versed in guitar or music in general. Tell me what you know.

Ibanez S series
I like the Ibanez S series guitars. Most famous for their super-thin bodies. It just wears well on me. they also have really fast necks and low action. I bought mine on EBay; I think that's the way to go. People usually take good care up upper end guitars. Mine was just like this one, but a blue/black fade instead of green/black. Same gold hardware though. It was awesome. Here's the ibanez homepage: PAGE NOT FOUND | Ibanez guitars AbE: I got mine on EBay for under $450... and if I had waited longer, I could have got one for under $400.

Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in. In my head, in my heart, in my soul. And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again. Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so.

I have decided to try to make some money and buy this:
An Ibanez Tube Screamer to add some gain/warmth to my cold amp. Not for distortion. It should be good, I've had my old instructor reccomend me this and a stratocaster.

Re: This is the guitar I want
That pisses me off bad. Fender is sooo commercial now. And actually, all electric guitar makers are besides a few like PRS and Gibson. But I want the strat badly. That Ibanez guitar that ben showed looked sick. Yaro are you a girl or a guy? Because I remember seeing an avatar, and some sort of explanation, can you tell more about who uses your name and stuff? Just wondering. This message has been edited by PORTEUS, 12-16-2005 07:50 PM

For Christmas, my dad just up and bought me the white strat and the pedal... So cool.

Prophex - What kind of sound are you looking for? What music do you like to play? I'm an old metal head myself, sans the obligatory Marshall stack. I have a very old Aria Pro II (all stock, but I'm so used to it, if I added Floyd Rose, it just wouldn't feel he same) and a Zoom pedal. The pedal can, within reason, make your rig sound like anyone from SRV to Dime Bag Darrell. My first good axe was a Strat, dark blue with tiny metal flake; no locking nut on the bar, so it went out of tune all the time. I echo the suggestion to look on ebay, found a couple of Jackson's that I lusted over.
