Re: Strats Are Just Fine For Shred
Depends what you mean by 'shred'. Usually I think of it as virtuosic fast playing that uses the whole fretboard. Upper fret access matters if you want to use those higher frets . . . and playing shred, you probably do. That's often limited by the body of the guitar. Try playing shred on a Danelectro:
The nicest neck in the world won't let you access frets 19, 20, and 21 comfortably. And there isn't even a 22nd fret to play.
I'd argue that the neck doesn't matter - other than it being comfortable for the person using it. Some guys shred on huge, thick necks and some guys like very thin ones.
