Jeff Beck Strat OW : Just superb.

I've always regretted selling my old Strat Plus. The only reason I did was that I didn't particularly like the pickups, otherwise it was a great guitar. I've since found it all but impossible to find the Plus's great features on any other guitar. Until now. I'd never really checked out the Beck before as I'm not a lover of so-called 'signature' guitars. To be honest most of them strike me as slightly embarrassing, over-priced rip offs but the Beck is simply a great tool. The roller nut not only keeps the guitar in perfect tune but it sings! Beautiful metallic sound. Always liked the locking tuners too, they just make string changes a breeze. Add strap locks, phenomenal pickups, tidier (shorter) whammy bar, quality three ply scratch plate and the mass of a top quality body slab and this is the best guitar I've ever owned...and I've owned them all (except other signature/relic rip-offs). This Strat will share pride of place with my SG Standard, Rici bass and Martin acoustic...completing the perfect tool kit for any job. Highly recommended.
