I know I've posted this story once....and I did get hell for it.

But anyway the last guitar I bought was a Walmart special, about 4 years ago. I'm not a guitar player....I just plunk.....but it's always nice to have a guitar kicking around the house. Just in case company (who can play) stops by. I don't smoke reefer either, but its always nice to have a bit on hand for the same reason. Anyway that guitar was the nastiest feeling thing I ever picked up. I gave it away. Sir Stonesalot was aghast that I bought a Walmart guitar. LOL. So I swore the next time I buy a guitar ....it will be a Telecaster. Maybe the cheapest one they got....but it will be a Telecaster. That Walmart guitar was like picking up a slimey, dirty ....... gawd that fucker was ugly......hate at first feel. I lost a hundred bucks but it was the best 100.00 I ever lost.

(Stevie Ray/Clapton/Hendrix/Jeff Beck/Gilmour come to mind just of the top of my head)

There are lots of things I like better about the Telecaster, but am opting for the Stratocaster here: purely for its sheer versatility – the array of styles and sounds you can get from the model is quite amazing.

Funnily enough, though. Prior to getting myself a 60’s Mexican Strat, I pretty much disliked the guitar: how wrong I could be.
