"Strats rule."
Fender builds a wonderful, durable instrument.
"Wouldn't give mine up for love nor money..."
Nor should you.
Didn't know you played; nevermind, for how long or what you favor.

...a little inspiration's always welcome.
Actually debased myself and went into a "Guitar Center" yesterday. Not a Vox AC-30 to be seen...
Although they ARE marketing "classic" Marshall 4x12 cabinets...
