Standard Strat

Lawson

Rating: 10/10

You read a lot about "Entry level" guitars.
Invariably these are cheap copies of old standards that are being hawked as "Perfect for the beginner".

Well, that's a stack of nonsense!

When you pick up a genuine Fender American Standard Strat that's been set up nicely with an action so low you can barley slide Rizzlas under then THAT'S your "Entry level"!!!!!

If you are planning to take up the guitar then look no further that the above because it's the easiest guitar in the world to play.

Buy some cheap imitation and the blisters on your fingers will put you off in a week.

Buy a Strat and the blisters wont be big enough to bother you.

Plus side: You won't have to try and flog off that crappy high action orange box you bought to learn on in order to help fund the new Strat that you wanted in the first place.
If you decide that you can't hack it with a guitar then you are virtually guaranteed to make most of your money back if you respected the axe because these babies are real value holders and even investments if you want to hang on to them for twenty years!

Good tips: 1/ check out youtube and type in Stratocaster into the search engine to listen to them being played, 2/ See if your local store rents Strats out for you to try before you buy, 3/ Shop around on the net for the best prices (without wishing to creep, Dolphin are the absoloute cheapest I have found anywhere (£270 lower that the rrp. Yes the colour scheme is limited but what do you want for £579.00?)

Down side: Your wife WILL shout at you for spending the kids college fund on a guitar!!!

BUT:

In the name of holy rock and roll buy no other!

A good measure of the quality of a guitar is how long you spend playing it. And this is truly difficult to put down. Well worth the extra cash for the USA version, the quality of workmanship is faultless.
