  • who wouldn't cherish his frender...

  • My sweetie that passed loved his sunburst fender strat, and here my friend sent you my way with a broken-in fender strat that shows you loved it and played it over and over. So wonderful to put in my folder of fave' vids where I pull it up and gaze at its loved-state. Love you Mr.. Thompson which is My sweeties grammpas name, gives me such a warm connection. :-) Peace and LOVE

  • His wife is named Nancy.

  • my favorite strat of all time!! "frender," lol.

  • Have you heard his somehow straight "Hey Joe"? Need i say incredible? Thought not.

  • Hmmm !

  • How about his short take on Dire Straits' "Down To The Waterline"?

  • The host is speaking with one of the truly unique players of the era but he asks Richard to mimic other players. How embarrassing.

  • A guy who jammed with Hendrix, influenced Knopler's style entirely... I can understand the Buddy Holly thing.

  • Lovely strat. Does he still play it?

  • Yes and no. He plays a green Ferrington on stage, which is his new love. He plays another strat too, but this guitar, THE GUITAR, is, I guess you could say, "retired". I asked Richard if he would ever consider letting Fender make a Richard Thompson model, and he said no because he doesn't use his anymore and it is a "stock" model with no mods. My thoughts were "Fender will put your name on it and sell it no matter what." Funny, it's hard to find 50 strats. Squier is making a cool 50's model.

  • "Friender Stratocaster" lol, from that point on you could see that Richard was stifling his laughter throughout the rest of the interview

  • Knows his shit. I love how uncomfortable he naturally is in a 'staged' situation and how often he wants to laugh at the bone questions. Lovely man. Living legend.

  • The man!
