Super Strats
« on: June 04, 2006, 12:40:02 AM »
Hey guys, I'd just like to know, what are the best super strats in your opinion? I'm looking at getting a new guitar to replace my LTD MH-301. I was looking specifically for a dual humbucker guitar with a comfortable, 24 fret neck (hopefully a set or neckthrough neck). I'm looking at a price range of 650-900. I'm not really picky about the brand, I just want a really good guitar and the super strat setup is my ideal style and shape. I don't really care about the brand, but the guitar must look classy and I don't care about the pickups either. I'll get BKP's when I can.

The Jems with the vine inlays look classy.

Those guitars cost a shiteload of money, I think he was looking for more mid-ranged priced guitars. ESP is perfect.

Uhhhh, i second what that guy ^ said, but still awesome information guys... I just bid on a John Petrucci signature guitar...and I love his tone, so it's all good. Just need to get BKP's for it if I actually am successful.

If it's not too mainstream for you: MusicMans are fantastic guitars. Try an Axis SuperSport (or if you need Floyd: an Axis) or even a Silhouette. You should be able to get them in your price range off ebay in good condition.

They also have distinctive looks and high quality woods as a fantastic basis to BKP them:)

Check out Mavericks...their at the bottom of your proce range...but they rli are worth more than they cost...classy, high quality woods (e.g AAA grasde rosewood fretboard) and they have some of the fastest necks i've ever played

+1 on that, Maverick seem to be well built guitars although I didnt get to play it properly in the shop it looked and felt pretty nice.

Look out on ebay for the Charvel Model 5 or Model 6. They have through neck construction, high output pickups, good hardware and some of them look amazing and have some brilliant reviews on them.

Here's my Warmoth superstrat made to Fender Strat dimensions (except the headstock shape and compound radius fretboard).

It's currently awaiting a body refinish to lake placid blue....
