Strat Gallery?

thegummy

Anyone know any good web galleries with good photos of Strats, ideally unusual finishes, discontinued colours, even stock colours with different pickguard or hardware colours etc.?

The ideal would be some kind of Stratopedia with a photo of every finish they've ever offered but that probably won't exist.

Also welcome suggestions for me to find some good Strat finish photos, though chances are I'll have tried that but I've yet to find a good gallery with them all in one place.

Start a thread on here (and another one on TGP) titled "Show me your Strats". You'll get thousands...

The strat lover thread on UG has a lot of stuff in it but it's a few pages to look through.

Cheers man and thanks to @KDS - it's just the kind of book I was looking for.

Bit pricey though, might need to wait a while since my money is all tied up in actually buying and upgrading a Strat, funnily enough.

It’s good book, the tele book is even better

It looks great but I first thought the 36 quid was quite pricey, only just saw that's for a used one in okay condition, for a new one it's about 60 quid  

Maybe you can lend me yours

I did think about that but I'd imagine a lot of people would have fairly generic ones so there would be a lot of photos to scroll through of ones I'd already seen.

Maybe once I get my new one I'll start the thread with a photo of my two. Only thing with threads asking people to post their own guitars - some people take it upon themselves to tell people it's not to their personal taste as if they're being asked for their opinion. Doesn't bother me but possibly would bother other people so hesitant to ask others to post their pics.
