>>130528567Aesthetically unpleasing .
because they know damn well the strat has been done better by other companies for over 40 years at this point. actual Fender brand strats are mid at best. even the expensive ones. there's no reason two pieces of wood bolted together should cost over $800 in any instance. Fender's quality control has been dogshit since at LEAST the early 90s. silver logo squiers from the 90s absolutely MOG the Fender equivalent of the time.
>>130528567Consider
>>130528567It's the best selling guitar on reverb iirc
>>130528814>the strat has been done betterThey have only tweaked the original. Were they 'better', they would have a different form.Copycat tailcoat riders get the rope.
>>130528958suck my hose, fender apologist. poor billion dollar company would be in bad shape if they didn't have retards like you to defend them!
>>130528973Why does it upset you so?
>>130529003buy an ad, fenderfag
>>130529007I'm asking sincerely. Why are you upset?
>>130529046tell your boss that you need to buy an ad to shill here, faggot. you're really bad at your job. tell your boss to give me your job. i could shill way better than your retarded ass
>>130529062>FenderSeems they came out on top with this one, ya? I can almost hear them scurrying around like panicked rats over at PRS. Haha.
>>130528814This, I have a fender deluxe lonestar strat that has always sucked. the action cannot be adjusted without buzzing and as is strings are miles from the neck. The G string buzzes anyway. I've taken it for two set ups at different techs. I'm just going to trade it in toward a PRS the next time guitar center does a trade in trade up. I should get 15% off plus a $350 trade in for it so I'll bring the one I want down to ~$1300 out of pocket.
>>130528932Makes sense. Fender has lost a lot of market share in Europe and Asia, one reason is because of high import costs for new Fenders and QC issues. (Like Fender deeming fret sprout as 'general wear and tear' and not considered a defect anymore officially)All of this means the used market for Fenders has shrunk a lot over the years, the result is brands like PRS and to some degree Ibanez have become a lot bigger in these locations.
>>130528958The reason the silver sky exists in the first place is because John Mayer asked Fender to make him a strat to his liking and they refused to do it.
>>130529062>retard seriously thinks someone works for fender ITT
>>130528567Because the jazzstang was always a failed aporia of an instrument and this reminds fender that fender has to go back and properly do a jazzstang i feel sincerely or something like that
>>130528567
>>130528567is this a fender copycat or something?
>>130530600john mayer asked for a 22 fret strat and fender refused so he had prs do it for him
>>130528567It's honestly ugly as fuck. PRS headstocks are some of the worst
>>130528814The Strat is simple as fuck. Only guitar more simple is the TeleIt's just a neck bolted to a body with some pickups slapped in No arched top, no set neck. It was perfect from the get go
>>130530707The problem is they fuck even that up with a bad neck, bad fretwork, misallignment at the bridge, bad intonation, bad nut
>>130530801
>>130530674google says most strats have 21 or 22 frets, i have a jazzmaster so idk
