Here be me strats.....

Fender Vintage player 50's strat in Aztec gold, Fender strat plus in sunburst, Fender American standard strat in Jade Pearl with Warmoth mahogany neck, Garbage strat in flaking off green paint made from warmoth parts...some of which came from a trash pile, Fretight practice guitar in cream white. All of them are awesome, except for the Fretlight, which is an OK guitar, but it is more of a learning tool than a real instrument.

EDIT:

I suppose a description is in order. Top to bottom:

1. Technically not a "Strat", the 2004 Fender USA SHOWMASTER I bought from @micwalt

2. 1987 MIJ "Squier" Branded Strat. Bone stock, all original with Fender System One Trem Unit. This is "The White Strat of Chimey Goodness", my number one gig machine. I have several other basically identical MIJ Strats from 84-87 in various colors but all with the System One and in varying states of originality. I figure some day I'll drag them all out for a group photo, but none have left their cases in years. The Candy Apple Red w/black pick guard and hardware is dead sexeh!

3. '94 MIM Standard, black/white. Bought it off the wall on December 30th 1994 and played a show with it that very night. The pic is from that show. Still have it.

4. "The Black Strat of Chimey Doom". Does what it says on the tin...
