One thing I’ve never owned - that many guitarists consider their most essential possession - is a Strat that I’ve really bonded with. I’ve always found it easy to bond with Telecasters, and Gibsons, especially 335s, but for some reason the ideal Strat, the archetypal electric guitar, has eluded me so far. I’ve had several Custom Shop models, all of which have been nice guitars, but none of which I stuck with - despite always having to take one on sessions, because they are the sound of electric guitar that people expect to hear and (sometimes more importantly) see when they hire a guitar player.
