Possibly the nicest playing guitar I've ever played was one of these:

Tom Anderson. Always makes me think of Vernon Reid, another great Superstrat player.

An excuse to post this too. Vernons pedalolz and a high end Hamer..

Vernon Reid ESP Mirage Deluxe

They don't make these ones anymore though. He's now got another one out and its fucking gash.

Mine:

Yes, two. I had money and was sort of impulsive at the time. The Viking metal band never materialized. Now they sit around being broken, and waiting to be repaired/cleaned/auctioned.

Thin/wide/flat necks for teh shreds. Midboosts for days.

These are my favourites so far: Love 'em !! I like the Neon colours !!

They will my swatch watch and bermuda shorts well.

Where can I find something like these that are cheap and decent enough ?

This thing is what Warmoth superstrats wish they could be. I'd love it if I didn't hate flame maple.

I've got a neck-through carvin coming on Friday. It won't have a trem though (I hate those things), so I don't know that it's technically a super strat.

THESE are a really good deal. The spec is not as high as the previous models but you still get a real Floyd Rose albeit a special.
Another trick with the neon/bright colored stuff is type '80s' in on an ebay guitars search, it usually throws up some shocking looking Superstrats. From Jenna Jameson artwork to Illuminous Pink

What about these new Blacktop Strats? They seem like fantastic values.

A MIM Fender w/ a Floyd Rose Special double-locking two-point tremolo for $499? Sounds like a fantastic deal to me.

Looks good, too. Probably needs better pickups, but yeah.

The Vintage Metal AxxeÂ® Series Raider model "Superstrat"is a very good deal for a new guitar not secondhand. Not very colourful though. I've seen them for under Â£200 new online.

Looks like a RG ripoff

They had one at the local mom and pop for years. I played it every week before my lessons for the past two years. They just sold it last week... wish it had been to me but I ain't dropping $900+ on anything but a coranado. They pop up on ebay every now and then in the $400 range. If I ever seen on closer to $200 I'm buying it without a second thought.

does anyone know if ibanez makes an RG in a SH configuration? specifically with a hardtail in white (with or without black binding)?

like this:

only with this headstock orientation, black binding, and made by ibanez.

rps-10 · Post by **rps-10** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 8:45 pm

There are RGs in SH format (RG565 is one that springs to mind) but not sure about hardtail.

For the brave or the LSD damaged there is the old RG540 PII

God that guy is so fucking cool. I talked to him for like 4 minutes at NAMM, and I instantly fell in love. Then he stood there, in my booth talking to other more important people for like 20 minutes, and I didnt care, cause he was so fucking cool.
