Fender Strat or RJ Strat?

this depends on where your heart lies! if you plan on making a living out of music then go ahead and buy the real strat, but if you plan on just playing in the bedroom get the RJ. I ran into this question when I switched from 4 string to 5 string b several years ago.... I made the jump to a cheaper guitar and within 6 months i needed the more expensive guitar to get the tone and feel I really wanted but opted out of by getting the cheaper guitar. Tone and Comfort both have equal share in the decision making process of buying a new guitar looks have very little. Remember Ugly Guitars make beautiful music!
