Have you got the MIDI pickup already?

If your in the market for a strat, I bought an SX SST57 strat for $99 from Rondo Music.

Add $30 shippng and I spent $50 at the guitar tech to put a graphite nut on and do a complete setup. This is one great playing strat.

I also bought a Agile AL3000 Gold Top LP - $369 and it only needs a nutjob. Beautiful guitars for the money. Check out the specs on the LP. Pretty amazing.

They're Chinese made, but good quality woods and build.

Maybe a Mexican made Fender Telecaster.

Fender makes the Roland ready strat for around $500. It's a POS, I have one. I use a Fernandez Dragonfly fitted with a Roland midi pickup. It feeds the amazing Axon AX100 controller. It also has the sustainer system to eliminate the deady "midi note off" problem.

With this rig I can patch a mean Jimmie Smith Hammond patch and hold a E13 chord forever, even with the whammy bar going up and down.
