Depends on what you like in a guitar.

Stevie Ray Vaughn played REALLY heavy guage strings with a high action...Most people would have thought that guitar sucked...but for him it worked.

Personally I don't like Strats at all..the placement of the volume knob conflicts with my picking style and i always end up turning myself down. Strats are a great guitar....but not for me.

What does work for me are just about anything Gibson makes. I have a 92 re-issue of the 57 Black Beauty that is going to the grave with me when I die....and a middle 70's Flying V ( also Gibson) and a middle 70's Iceman ( made when Ibanez still made guitars by hand)

If you play guitar there comes a few times in your life when you pick up a guitar and just KNOW that you can't live without having it.
