everybody owns one but not everybody puts one to good use... it's one of those guitars that'll make you sound good regardless if you know how to play properly...
I know that
I know that it doesn't make it worth any less, I was just thinking though, tis not a special thing to have a strat anymore the same way it used to be. I mean its still a special instrument but its not that kind of thing that you only see the top people with and everyone would like it but can't have it.
I've started with a strat too. I'm not saying its not right, I'm just saying its not like that anymore.

You can replace the tuning peg if yours the cheaper range copy, these are normally poor performance type.
I suspect your vintage bridge is floating, thats why the tuning is a bitch. If the bridge at tune is just nice in lock position is ok, should be so if you do not use the tremolo. A floating vintage bridge gets out of tune very fast. I suggest send it in for readjustment.
Re: I know that
Well if you're talking about exclusivity, there are still strats which are considered collectors editions (read: exorbitantly over-priced).
In any case, since when was it considered "special" to have a strat? i think it has been around in many variations, both cheap as well as hi-end, over the decades man... any illusions of being special by owning a strat are entirely your own. :roll:
No offence bro, but to me, a strat (esp your first one) will still be special to you no matter how many other ppl own it.

Locking as in floyd rose tremolo?? Still the same, if one string breaks, all goes outta tune. But it does hold a tuning pretty well, except changing strings and tuning takes about 3 times as long as with normal bridge.
You can always jam a trem bridge to make it like fixed bridge.

Strats are imo one of the most comfortable guitars to play with. I think that every guitar player should at least own a strat 
Don't ask me why cause i'm also not sure why i have that thought.

i dont really fender strats, not thick enough for distortion(thats why i was considering those 2 humbuckers pickups if im gonna get a strat) but i do prefer the telecasters tho...has that nice twangy sound to it
to all strat experts out there...is the mexican strat value for money? i saw one that's around $800...... ya that cheap

I've always liked the necks on Mex strats, to be honest i think for 800 its definitely worth the money. But kinda hard to find for that price in singapore even for a mexican or jap strat. I guess my strat got so modified that only the body remains. Bridge change to Floyd Rose, pickups to fender and bridge change to hot rails, neck change to jumbo .... Only the body is original .... Even the pickguard i gonna decorate abit, maybe paste a sticker of a cat.
