Which strat/superstrat body style do you prefer?

Like this?

Or this?

I used to be all for the drop tops, but I have been gassing big time for a TA Classic lately

 

[roadifier]

I like drop tops a lot...

 

[cardinal]

I voted the later because that's all I own, but I do like the classic too.

 

[snowdog]

I like them nice and curvy like a Fender.

 

[JohnSykes]

Traditional style for me.

Not technically one of the options, but this:

Fits like a freaking glove! Given a choice between the classic or drop top though, for playability I definitely take the classic!

 

[sandman]

I like both but my default is the good ol' fashioned strat body.

I dig them both. I currently have an Anderson Classic (hollow) but if I were to spec out a new one it would probably be a Drop Top.

I like both but my default is the good ol' fashioned strat body.

I agree

 

[Hard&Heavy]

Drop top for me.

A droptop style superstrat usually comes with a sculpted neck heel of some kind so... ding ding ding... the winner. I put down any traditional style with a block heel (hence why I don't have a Charvel in my stable).

I like both for different reasons. I have one Drop Top and two Classics.

BTW Dan, did you see this at the Anderson forum. Looks like it is right up your alley:

I've got a drop top Suhr Modern that I love, and I also have a straight up alder bodied Charvel that I love too... if I was forced to make a choice though I'd take the drop tops just because I love that classy vibe that they exude.

I've been through several. I've kept the superstrat models - slightly more pronounced curves, more cut-away, better fitted neck, etc. The curled and flamed tops are just a function of fashion, and it just so happens my superstrats all have 'em (1 x Suhr, 2 x ESP).

I voted for Drop Top. Although, it doesn't have to have a maple top for me to dig it. I just prefer "superstrats" in general for their more modern features, such as what Ventura listed. Also, I have never liked pickguards.

 

[mikehickey]

i like both... i have one charvel with i guess a drop top, it is the 25th anniversary model, but the body shape is standard, it just has the flame top that curves over....

 

[The Hoff]

Another vote for drop tops!

 

[stanbog]

I don't really care for the body style - both are comfortable for me. What i do care is the input jack placement - i don't like the classic Fender input on the top.

There is something really classy about a classic Strat.
