Superstrat Opinions

John_A

GASing for a new (or used)  Superstrat, currently looking at a Anderson Pro AM, a Shr Modern Satin,  and a Jackson PC1.  Any opinions on what is 'best' or what else I could be considering?

Could keep it UK based and go for a Gray Guitars Emperor. Sounds great in this vid, and bundles of switching options...

The tyler Japan stuff looks good and is vaguely sensibly priced!

I've been hugely impressed with the musician luke 2 I bought 2nd hand. Easily picked up for less than a grand and stellar build quality. 

Also, don't overlook used high spec pacifica and fretkings - don't have the boutique name but both make great spec superstrats.

Sorry folks - Should have said, a Floyd is a must

Its outlived a lot of high end Superstrat guitars I've owned.

Jackson. Pc1, sl1 or sl2h. Hands down, love my Sl1 to bits.

If you can stretch your budget, Feline Panther. Jonathan has one for sale that's kind of a much better Ibanez RG. 

Or you could buy the Feline Barreta.

Tom Anderson all day long. No contest.

Ta for me too.

I have a 3 z p90 ta, and a suhr modern with Floyd.   Nothing wrong with the suhr, it's stunning....BUT to ta has something indescribable (not the p90s).  If it was a ta and suhr of the same specs I'd take the ta.

Personally I'd be looking at Ibanez J Customs or Mayones in that price range.

Well the TA Pro Am is really taking my fancy, but struggling to come to terms with dropping 2K on what, on paper, is a pretty plain superstrat , also looking at a Stormshadow which is half the price and ticks all the boxes. The Jackson PC1 looks great too! Decisions decisions!
