I just bought my first "real" guitar earlier this year! It is a 1962 reissue stratocaster but it is made by a company called Blade which was established in 1985 so I dont know how that math works. But I pretty much did the same thing as you but instead of SRV I love David Gilmour and wanted a 60s strat like his (not to say SRV isnt also a killer strat player) this baby blue dream cost me $1600 and it was worth every penny.

2018-06-14 07:14:19 +0000 UTCMy number one is an Ibanez Prestige RGD2127z. I'd been going through a bit of musical confusion and felt like all the guitars I owned were pulling me in directions that I'd either already been down or they weren't particularly interesting me with the ideas they were offering. I felt like they deserved a better home and as if I'd gotten almost all the ideas I could get from those guitars and so I sold them. It wasn't an easy decision but it worked out for me. I needed to focus on one thing and I couldn't do it with seven guitars all around in different tunings and writing some rather generic sounding prog rock. So I used the money I got to get the RGD, since named Miranda after Prospero's daughter from The Tempest, and settled into my playing. I've swapped out the stock pickups for Dimarzio Illuminators, being a fan of John Petrucci, and the matte finish shows a lot of character from how I play the instrument. Whenever I'm writing or recording this is the guitar I pick up. I own a few other Prestiges and they all get love, but this guitar was the only one I owned for about two years and the mark it has left on my playing is undeniable. My girlfriend says Miranda makes her feel like the "other woman."
