Talking I have a bunch of strats

1. I built a relic'd strat out of Mexi parts and an alder body off a WalMart special guitar. The set up is perfect and I don't worry about banging it around. I play this one the most.
2. I built an American Deluxe with a maple neck. It has the noiseless pickups. I'm not crazy about the way they sound. I actually prefer Mexi standards. But the neck is awesome. The rolled fretboard and larger frets give it a great feel.
3. 1972 Strat. I'm the 2nd owner of this all original sunburst classic.
4. 1957 reissue seafoam green strat. Looks cool, plays like crap. I haven't been able to properly intonate this guitar EVER.
5. The Splatocaster. It's cool. Still has the hang tags. I'm keeping it as an investment. Played well right out of the box the one time I plugged it in.
6. Blue Floral reissue. Another investment guitar. Looks cool, still has the plastic on the pickguard. Didn't play as well as the splatocaster out of the box, the action was high and it's strung with 10's. Didn't like the heavier strings on it.
7. I have about 10 other Mexi strats laying around in various stages of disassembly.

I have a '73 Telecaster Deluxe, with 2 humbuckers and an added master volume knob. It has a maple neck and plays very nicely.

I also have a cheap but playable beater of a classical guitar with nylon strings that I pick up quite a bit, too.

Fender "Starcaster" (Target Strat like object, I call it the Targetcaster). I have modded the hell out of this thing, and it's just a fretjob short of being a very nice lead guitar...it's got insane sensitivity, and the sustain is just nuts...but only the body and neck are stock. 10k/12k/15k hot rail pickups and 500k pots.

Dean Vendetta 1.0: my current favorite. The mahogany finish is outright hot, and it's got a nice sound overall. I play primarily metal, and this guitar does that well....it's also my only hardtail guitar. Straplock installation aside, I also refuse to do any work on it, as there is nothing I see that needs improvements.

Fender Partscater (highway body, mexi neck, highway trem, GFS vintage 64 staggers handwired pickguard 250k pots, american neckplate and tuners, some stuff I have forgot) ....I was being a moron and forgot to buy pickguard screws, so I am waiting for those to come in the mail...I'm being a picky arse and only allowing genuine Fender screws on this thing, so I special ordered some. This is going to be a blues oriented guitar build. flat black nitro finished bosy, black 3-layer pickguard, white pickups and controls.

If only I spent as much time working on my playing as I do working on these things

1) One I play most is a squier body with mex neck and tex mex pickups with 7 way switch, looks, feels and sounds great to me.
2) Mex strat HSS with pearly gates HB and Texas Special singles.
3) mex strat SSS with Texas Specials
4) American Tele with Texas Specials
5) Squier body warmoth neck with SD lil 59 mini humbucker in bridge, SD duckbucker mini humbucker in middle, and SD jb junior mini humbucker in neck, with a push pull switch so it can be used as a 5 way switch with all humbuckers or split all into sinbles with 5 way switch for 10 different combos.
6) a 65 mustang
7) a 65 Silvertone 1488
