Lupercal:
re Frusciante: He's not a bad all-rounder, really. His solo stuff is kind of interesting.
Before the 80s, before Kramer existed, before he changed endorsements every other week, this guy played Strats. Or at least, had a Strat-shaped Charvel that he custom built, which I hold as close enough really.
I play a Strat. I hope I don't suck majorly, but its all I've got at the moment. And I refuse to get something different just because people go on about how Strats are 'overdone'. Whatever, they're popular because they're versatile and for some reason designs made over 60 years ago are still working today. Simple to maintain, great to play. I'll probably have the one I currently have for a longass time, so in 20 years it looks beaten up and 'cool' again. (It also totally turned me on to maple necks, which I always sort of hated before)
I'm always interested in what people do with Strats. The difference between say, Simon Neil (Biffy Clyro), John Mayer and Yngwie is massive. But that is to do with style along with sound, obviously.
Anybody have any experience with Godins? Some of their models look pretty nice and they're verging into my current price range.
Edit: haha, my 700th (Beyonce) post included something about Eddie Van Halen. How predictable.
warcabbit:
Godins are heavy, but good and solid, good sound. And Made in America. Or America-Like-Processed-Cheese-Spread-Food place up north. Any specific Godins?

I am deeply, profoundly saddened that David Gilmour has not been brought up yet.
For shame, guys. For shame.

I have my reasons (aka I really don't give half a fuck about Pink Floyd).

That could not be any further from the truth, being a devoted Pink Floyd fan instantly knocks you down to "people who like Metallica"
