Show Us Your Favorite S-Style Guitars

I'm not a Strat guy. They don't work for my main band. But everyone, even me, should have a Strat. I've had a bunch of cheapies, 3 Squiers, a Peavey Predator, and a MIM Fender Standard Stratocaster. I finally settled on my Forever Strat, this 2003 MIM Fender Classic Series 50's Stratocaster.

Only one I have. MIM. This one came with the push button switch to bring the bridge pickup into play in positions 4 and 5, giving me 7 distinctly different voices. Personally, I like the button over a push/pull pot.

If I am going to choose by how it plays, then I love the '50s V shaped neck and 12" fingerboard radius on my '22 Eric Johnson "Virginia" Strat.

But, if I were to choose for sound... this mongrel early sixties Strat sounds so incredibly lush. I love the sound of this guitar regardless of how bad my hands hurt after a half hour because the neck is so thin.
