10 Reasons YOU Should Own a Super Strat!! 

Growing up I was no fan, now it’s the majority of my collection. Definitely versatile and #11 a good one can be found for a good price!

I love how versatile and mod-able they are. It becomes a reflection of your own personality.

Awesome video! That DK-24 is awesome!

Ahhh the title. Opens up with a Charvel DK ❤️

A valid points regarding a 'super strat'. Funny I watch this after spotting a bunch of new Charvels at the local guitar center in Arvada. 👍

Speaking truth about the Floyd tuning stability and all... Cheers!!!

Interesting. Classic tele guy here but I do want one!!

Great video. Absolutely true. One you forgot is that super strats have a double cutaway and the upper horn helps balance the guitar so much better than a single cut or like and SG that is usually neck heavy. I love my Charvel Preditor which has a standard humbucker in the bridge and a rail single coil sized stacked humbucker in the neck where the harmonic is. With HSH and 24 frets I think you lose a little of that pickup positioning thing, but I love the HSH options as well. A good solid trem will stay in tune great as you said, and they are so easy. The problem is that people don't understand them. It's just a balancing act with strings and the springs in the trem and making sure your strings are stretched properly. Once that's done, my Ibanez edge trem jap guitar s series which I love with the low pro edge stays in tune with incredible abuse of the trem as does my Geqn made Shaller trem on my Charvel preditor crackle guitar. Do you have a Facebook I can follow sir? Thanks for the videos. Great info man. It cracks me up how young guys like yourself appreciate the music Is grew up and played during the 80s. Played some gigs in Indy, and a lot of fun with friends all during that time. Ada mp1 into a Marshall power amp with cord and super strat was the thing to have. Best regards my friend.. Southern Indiana. USA. Tim..

Absolutely! I own four....two Charvels, San Dimas and So Cal....one Schecter Hellraiser Hybrid...and one Strat that I modified with dual humbuckers, coil splits and a kill switch. I can play any genre on those guitars. As a fan of the 80's...guys like EVH...Brad Gillis....Vito Bratta....Reb Beach... made me love the Super Strat.

Correct 💯 on all 10 in my opinion. For me i need a locking Floyd rose that once strings are stretched does NOT go out of tie. Whoever says that needs to put the pipe down 🤣🤣 . Even after hammering on trem bar. I have tried and tried different guitars over 30 years but always go back 🤘🤘

Super strats are the default guitar shape might not be ur fav but usually every player has at least 1! Most comfortable easy payable shape! My fav super strat shape is the Ibanez RGA! It's the sleaker carved version of the RG & just a Swifter Ax to swing!

Superstrats are awesome. I have always preferred them. I totally agree about the upper fret access and the thumb. That’s a big reason why I love my music man majesty. You can get your thumb all the way up to the 24th fret basically. I know a majesty is not really a traditional superstrat, but I see it as an evolution of it.

It is definitely the all in one guitar!!!!! It's all I play or my go to & I have had many guitars...👍👍👍

*Like #25 🤘 The Charvels are really king too me when it comes to Super-Strats! Good guitar!*

*I love the Super-Strat because of the comfort. I found out about Charvel when I was looking for a Fender Stratocaster with an HSS setup and a Floyd Rose bridge 🤘🤘🤘🤘 I also bought a DK24 model. I don’t have it anymore but I do like my Jackson Juggernaut 😈😈😈😈 Tone for days! Also, I felt the DK24 had the best sounding pickups I’ve ever heard so I’m looking to buy another soon. Sweet video Gregg!*

Love my super strats!

Totally agree! Super cool story time: I have always enjoyed the music of shredders equipped with a trem (Satriani, Hammet, Vai, Loomis, Wardingham, etc.). So, my first 7 string guitar was a cheapo ESP LTD with a floyd special. Big mistake -- it was used and the neck and knife edges were worn/crap. I later sold a hardware synthesizer so that I could get a better guitar. My second floyd rose guitar ended up being a b-stock 7-string Schecter that I couldn't intonate (The low B-string maxed out the bridge saddle and still fretted sharp). So, I returned it in sheer frustration. In spite of my tastes in guitar music, my scoreboard read two strikes against floyd roses. One more strike and I was going to say "YOU'RE OUT!" I got that money back (I rarely have disposable income) so I pitched the ball to give the Floyd Rose one last chance. Thanks to youTubers like Neogeofanatic and Cameron Cooper, I decided to give up on 7 string guitars and try a regular ol' six-string superstrat: A Charvel So-Cal. I was able to buy it at a discount price as floor-model and it was a grand slam -- knocked it out of the park! You could say that I sacrificed my dream of a seventh string so that I could have a fully functioning Floyd Rose. I have no regrets!

For all the reasons you've mentioned, I like the Jackson Warrior even better.

My man player is a Charvel DK24 with a Floyd Rose…I haven’t had to tune that thing in 6 months…once you understand how the FR works,and how to set it up,they are crazy stable…..Super Strats are awesome…

i never understood the hold tune argument because for me i have a cheap 6 point trem on one of my guitars and i swapped a graph tech nut, and dont have the trem floating and i never have any problems... this is on a 400$ guitar, just get a good nut, intonate the bridge and adjust the claw to the right spot and you should be good

Speaking of playability...I just bought a ESP LTD m-1000 purple with thr EMG 57/66. Extra thin U neck isn't as thin as I thought it would be but still very nice. I think Schecters ultra Thin C is still the best though.

I used to play Strats and super-strats, until i discovered how awesome V's are, that was a game-changer for me.

I've had my eye on the EVH Stealth guitar and also a Schecter something or other with Lundgren pups

I love super strats through and through. Just wish guitar companies would start making H/S pickup configuration reverse banana headstock super strats again.

Actually trem guitars stay in tune better... just a pain to get in tune in the very beginning because of the Springs... For that reason my new custom guitar build is going to be with a locking nut and fine tuners on the bridge so it will be a locking system but without the Springs or the trem . I'm thinking it will stay in tune so much better🤘🤘🤘🤘

SS guitars are definitely most comfortable and versatile for me personally. 11/11. 😂

3:17 I don't think you can really call it a superstrat unless the trem has a locking function like the Floyd Rose or Ibanez Edge. Also, some superstrats have neck-through construction like my Jackson Soloist.

does a kramer baretta count? with 1 humbucker, cause i have that and man its one of my favourite guitars

I have a 2015 American super strat I kinda inherited from my father. He never even got it set up. The action was awful. I kinda just don't know what to do with it? I have other guitars with humbuckers and i want to start playing things other than your basic 70s punk ,acdc, gnr, mid to fast tempo rock. Hopefully this video helps. I love 60s r&b not really into classic rock to much no cream or deep purple. If anyone has any advice or could point me in the right direction? Fun but also helping with fundamentals ? I'm new but i feel i could be a decent guitar player if i just knew where to start?

Superstrats R all I need

I use my ibanez RG for classic rock😆 Metal fans dun hate me!

I don’t understand why people buy guitars without a trem system (not a bigbsy). They are missing out on so much cool sounds

you actually need like 6 super strats, so that you have a floyd rose set up for each tuning you might want. drop a, b standard, c# standard, open c, drop d, d standard, eb standard, e standard, e all fourths. whatever. but... everyone should ideally have 15-20 guitars minimum.

Everyone should own a super strat? Even people that don't play guitar or just guitar players? Please clarify or I wont be able to sleep tonight. Thanks.

Another reason is the Jumbo frets!

Sorry, you're wrong, Gregg. Hot-rodded Tele's all day every day.

11.) Superstrats go great with your sisters leggings. Negatives *Hordes of women throwing themselves at you. Too many to handle.
