@PBANDSNOW in the 60's the pickguards were made with a material that shrank over time, so all original strats from the 60'shave that crack near the screw
this guitar is SICKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
@OstentatiousTyler The late Gary Moore had a Strat like this one. Type in "Gary Moore Texas Strut" and see Gary playing it real hot. Also he used the same guitar on "Gary Moore Red House" here on YouTube.
i constantly get "convinced" that strats>teles or teles>les pauls or 335>jazzmasters or yadda yadda yadda. then i remember that i'm just under the X spell.
It's funny how the best guitars are undoubtedly American (Fender, Gibson), whereas the best amps tend to be English (Vox, Marshall). Strange uniting of two countries to produce a great sound.
correct me if im wrong but, the two tone knobs on the strat are for when you use the 2nd and the 4th positions. these strats only have 3 positions, why two tone knobs?
@MrFenderbender97 Its simple, one is for the middle, other is for the neck pickup. Its good when you want to have 2 different tone settings on 2 different pickups with flip of a switch. You can rewire them anyway you like ofc... :)
You have to give Phil X credit for not only being a top-notch guitarist but having such a musical résumé. He plays styles and artists from all decades, but hearing Zeppelin, Joe Walsh, Stevie Wonder, James Brown, and Steppenwolf! C'mon, how cool is this guy? Rock on Phil!
@Transterra55 yep i love how his brain works. like mine. he'll go from stevie wonder to Zepplin cause that's just what his brain does. It makes sense to me. Hell my brain goes from Ice Cube to Sinatra to Johnny Cash to the Roots to Aerosmith to Miles and it makes sense to me.
I realize the odds of Phil playing something originally done by Punky Meadows are just about infinitesimal, but sometimes you never know unless you ask. So, how about it Phil, next time you're wearing a Strat, doing something by Angel? (I personally would like to hear the solo from "Feelings" [Helluva Band album])
I have a quick question for frettedamericana.....you stateed that this strat has a "Solid alder body." Does this mean it's a one piece body...or is it more likely that it's a 2 or 3 piece?
@theshyguitarist vintage strats or modern strats for that matter hardly ever had 1 piece bodies. What they mean when they say solid alder is that its made of Full alder pieces ( usually 2-3 ) and isn't a multiply body.
