On going 100% Stratocaster
Do I plan on getting any of these guitars soon? No. All of these are just nice-to-have and not need-to-have.
Right now I'm just fine with my new black Squier Strat. And I'm not saying that as "It's okay but I wish I had something better". This black Strat is as good as it gets not only for a Squier but for a Strat in general. It needs nothing and no upgrades are required.
The guitar plays and sounds great. I feel no need to "upgrade" to a "better" guitar, because I don't have to.
There is also something to be said for just going with one guitar and sticking with it. Concentrating on just one puts more focus on making actual music (the whole point of having the guitar in the first place) instead of constantly bouncing around between instruments and not getting anywhere musically.
I think this is part of the reason I was okay going 100% Strat. Having a bunch of different guitars was different and cool, but served to be more of a distraction than anything else.
Yeah, I want other guitars. Of course I do. I always do. But right now I'm in Strat town and staying there because I want to get more music done.
