currently i own a 70s classic series strat...its a great guitar, very good for most kinds of stuff and pop(which i kostly play now)..sounds good when clear and all..but now im considering buying an rg550...now's the confusing part... pros and cons:
strat: only 21 frets, not very comfortable to access lower frets, single coils lack punch when distorted (if i plan to learn heavier stuff), cant really abuse the tremolo
rg550: 24 frets...easy access to lower frets, humbuckers pack a punch, good for heavier stuff, can play with the whammy all i want but it dosen't sound as the strat when clear and well i honestly like the strat's looks better.
ok i know it all boils down to which sound u like...but the problem is i like and want both...so should i sell my strat and buy the rg? or should i keep my strat and forget about the rg? don't tell me get both cause i gotta wait till CNY and i wont be able to get a POD or Vamp to make my crap peavey sound better and hardcase for the guitar.
