I've given this a lot of thought.

I play surf (and other stuff) so a Strat is a likely suspect. I've owned several.

They always seduce me with their looks and feel (which are awesome) but the placement of the controls is awkward for me. I keep turning down the volume and changing pickups accidentally. Also since I play alot with my palm against the bridge I'm sometimes out of tune. And, when I bend one note in a double stop the other note goes flat.

And then I sell it.

I've done this time and time again.
