I have an Ibanez SF470 that I got in 1992. It's a fucking machine; no whammy, just a stop bar tail. It's the main reason I never had to bother getting a strat.

my first guitar was a knockoff strat. i lost all taste for them after that - and not because that guitar was junky, just that it was the wrong guitar for me. if i was ever going to consider something to fill that niche again though it would probably be a PRS SE custom 24 or maybe a Jackson Dinky. something with humbuckers and a hard tail because i don't want to stray too far from my comfort zone. i would allow coil splitting
The other guitarist in my band just custom ordered a Kiesel Aries 6. Should end up looking similar to this but with a Floyd Rose. I might change my tune on strat style guitars after i get some face time with this thing.

I always thought of Ibanez and PRS as "precision instruments." They hold their tune very well, their natural note is crystal clear, their necks are super easy to play, and they take pedals really well. I find most of them to be pretty ugly, but they are great in the studio. But for my money, if I wanted a guitar that had a lot of those same qualities, but also looked cool and had a more indie rock vibe to the tone, I'd spring for a Jazzmaster.
One of the first bands i played in back freshman year of college - the other guitar player had a Jackson with a girl in a bikini on a beach painted on it.

Huh, don't know much about Kiesel. My Ibanez is nice to have for when I'm feeling something different. And it's been with me for so long, I wouldn't dare get rid of it. Pups are HsH with a 5-way switch. Plenty of tones to go around and it does clean exceptionally well. The bridge pup does rock, metal just fine, the neck gives off a Tom Morello vibe. Fun to play around with, but not really my thing. The single coil tones are fun too, but also not really my thing. As far as looks, I don't care. Nobody's gonna be taking pictures of me in my basement with a pointy headstock guitar and making fun. I still wouldn't care, I used to be a pointy headstock guitar guy.
I have a few other guitars, but I stick mostly to my 03 LP Standard. I love it; it's me. The separate volume/tone controls allow for a wider array of options and tones than LPs are given credit for, I think. The fit and finish is also a work of art.
you had me all excited...but unfortunately it seems to be mostly for synths, turntables and hifi/audio equipment...not really musical instruments/amps/fx like i was expecting.

Just scored this for a steal. I used to have one way back when. The pre is solid state, so it ain't that great until you push it, but when you do it sounds really fuckin good.

The phaser is actually really good. The range knob has pull switch that stops the phase, and then you can dial in more tones with the depth control. Came with the original footswitch, too. Channel select, combine, reverb, and phase controls. I feel like not going to work tomorrow.
