It weighs a metric ton, but I am a man and I can easily support it. It plays fine, stays in tune and sounds real stratty. Of course I have the tailpiece locked down so maybe thats why it stays in tune so well – I do bend strings all over the place. I like mine a lot. Maybe I got one of the 4 good ones, I don’t know. I do know it’s actually heavier than any of my Les Pauls, but thats fine with me. I’m not really a strat guy, but I do like this one I have. Just my two cents.

They were designed for a good clean sound and that they gave. They can be modded for modern tastes, of course, but their ruggedness was in many ways the high point of Fender production.

And those three bolt Strats weren’t too bad if you tightened the neck joint up and got rid of the cast zinc hardware. Of course they had heavy plastic finishes, but THAT”S WHAT THE DEALERS DEMANDED.
