I own a 50th anniversary stratocaster and a semi hollowbody telecaster. Best guitars ever made.

Back in the days when I was, like a housewife, exceedingly brand-loyal, all I played were Fender electrics and Guild acoustics.  In later years I branched out, but I still favor Fenders and Guilds.  Currently, I have a 1974 Stratocaster with pre-CBS pick-ups, which is a museum piece.  I only play it when I record.  Also have a 1952 Telecaster re-issue that I purchased about 15 years ago.  This is one of my favorite guitars.  And, I have one of those F50 acoustic resonator guitars, which I play almost every day.  I'd like to get my hands on a vintage Jaguar, and, I plan on buying a new Jazzmaster as soon as the budget permits.  Fenders play great and sound terrific.  If you play bass, you can't go wrong with a Precision or Jazz bass.  Go for the American-made models on both guitar and bass as the ones made in Mexico are iffy and the Japanese ones are sometimes very good, sometimes mediocre, I've found.

I've been playing my "Typhoon" strat for 3 years and its the best rocker man!!!!

the best ever..most durable..mercedes of guitars

Its the best

The guitar I learned to play on was a Fender Strat. It was only a rental so it wasnt the top of the line guitar but I would definantly reccomend it to anybody who is learning how to play because it is a GREAT starter guitar. After I got better I turned it in and got an Epiphone Les Paul. Thats what I play with now and I enjoy it a lot.
