Fender Stratocasters, which is your favorite?

I have several Fender Strats. Love them. By far, my favorite guitar. Also the first electric guitar my parents got for me.
I have an Eric Clapton strat. Heavy guitar, but love the maple neck.
Would love an original 54 strat, but doubt that will ever hapen.
Maybe a custom shop relic..

I have a 2006 American Deluxe Strat Olympic White Pearl with tortoiseshell pickguard. Classic look.
My favorite Strat though is not a Fender, it's my Charvel ProMod DK24 2pt haha - Love the neck profile on it so much

I have an EJ with the rosewood fretboard. Love the neck, it's more of a deep C.
But I play my teles much more (almost exclusively) it seems.
Edit - if I had to get a new one now, I would probably just get a Vintera model and call it a day. The Prof 2 are nice, as well.

I have a 2012 American Standard.
Olympic White with Parchment pickguard and maple neck
Identical color scheme to what Jimi played at Woodstock

I have a partscaster that is built around a 25th Anniversary Strat body. Crappy Porsche Silver finish and everything. Bought the body, neck, Fender tuners, Kahler trem, and prewired pickguard assembly from Jimmy Foster at Foster's Guitars in NOLA in '83. I assembled it with his help. I've upgraded it over the years. New pickups, tuners, Babicz trem. Got a new Fender neck. Fret Shack installed the new neck and a Gilmour switch along with a setup. Like I told Jeff, she ain't much, but I'll never give her up. Sounds great through an AC-10.

I have a partscaster
Don't we all? I had a franken-strat built from leftovers.. I did eventually buy a new neck and tuners... and it was fun to play. In it's glory days it was deep glossy black with baby blue spots flicked over the body...
Sounded good.. Felt good.. I miss it.

1989 sunburst American Strat with rosewood FB.
A 1993 black on white American Telecaster with maple FB. Like someone else said, I play my Tele more, frets not as tall as my Strat and I think the maple makes it easier to play.
I’d really like a new Fender Luxe American Strat with the Floyd Rose setup, about $2700.

I have a 1985 Tokai AST-56 that is as much a Strat as anything labeled Fender, exact copy of a 1956 Strat with typical Japanese quality workmanship. It has a Seymour Duncan TwangBanger pickup in the bridge, which mimics a Telecaster bridge pickup so it gives me some balls in the bridge position, and I had the neck and middle pickups custom wound by a place in England called Catwhisker Pickups to play nice with the hotter bridge pickup. I also had a Mojotone blender harness installed to give me every possible pickup combination. I can frickin’ do ANYTHING with that guitar.

None of my present day "stratocasters" are Fenders, unless you count this one from Leo's final chapter ... 1996 G&L Legacy retrofitted for a Carondelet S trio. The mini switch enables extra pickup combos not available on a stock five-way blade.
I've owned this G&L longer than I've owned any guitar in my life. It's name is "Barbie" because its finish is like a barbecue sauce burst ... specifically, like a Carolina mustard-based BBQ sauce center bursting to a KC/Memphis ketchup-based sauce.
-------------------------
My other go-to "strats" are from my own bench.

I think after reading through these responses, I want a 54 relic...
Posted on 3/15/24 at 3:16 pm to Fishwater
This one originally looked like Blackie but I converted it into a Gilmour Black Strat several years ago.
Posted on 3/15/24 at 3:18 pm to Fishwater
I just don't like the relic look. Unless I put it there myself
