Strat copy

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Despite all the chit-chat, synthesis, original research, and pontification in the article (none of which is verified), "strat copy" simply means "copy of a Stratocaster". Whatever is notable about the topic of copying Stratocasters should be in Fender Stratocaster. As for a merge--I challenge you to find relevant and verified material in here worth merging...

 * Delete I could easily find dozens of passing mentions in reliable souces. But no significant coverage.  It seems guitar enthusiasts know what the phrase means, but don't discuss it in any depth.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  05:16, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Haha, "cheap strat" is what it means, Cullen! (Not that I'd say no to one, of course--if they send me one I'll withdraw this AfD.) Drmies (talk) 05:23, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * 35 years ago, The Tubes, in their classic song I'm Proud to be a American, identified "cheap guitars" as one of the foremost sources of the greatness of the U.S.A. Who can argue with such logic, Drmies?  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  06:50, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
