I don't like strats for me...I have owned 3. A cheap Squier that I modded around with...a nice mexican olympic white deal and a totally top end American Deluxe in Sienna burst...but every time I had a strat it made me want to turn it into a Les Paul. As far as the other guitars...the heritage cherry colored guitar is an Epiphone that I bought about 10 years ago and put Seymours in, The butterscotch colored guitar is a Gibson Custom Shop Elegant with Seymours (used to have '57 classics, EMG's, then Bare Knuckle Nailbombs...found the right fit now) I also have a Epi LP Special painted like EVH black and yellow scheme that I will eventually put a maple Warmoth neck on. The other guitar is a Carvin CS6 California Single with a maple neck and board. Really cool guitar.
