 |
|
Hi:
I have a Cort electric, M600, that has a great, bluesy humbucker sound. I like it a lot, but it's my first electric and after a year with it I'm ready to try something different.
I was wondering if someone on this board can recommend a Korean-made guitar that comes close to the legendary Fender Stratocaster sound. I just can't justify 1,500 or 1,800 bucks for the real thing, so a close copy will do if the quality is very good.
Thanks

| Go to Nakwon arcade and just try any guitars that look like a Strat! If it has 3 single coil pick-ups and a 5-way switch then it should sound like a Strat. |

| I don't live in Seoul, so I'm hoping someone can recommend the makes and models to look for so as to narrow things down somewhat. |

There are so many makes and models. Don't worry so much about make or model. Just look for the Strat design. 3 single-coils and a 5-way switch. Then, if it's nice and playable and sexy looking I would just go for it. You shouldn't have to pay more than 500,000 won for a decent Strat copy. |
