Just a little taste of my FCS 60th Anniversary 1954 Stratocaster Heavy Relic in 2-TSB.
The backing track is in the key of E, and is one of several blues songs I created and recorded to solo over.

3 Things.

1. It's pretty clear that you are follower of the Eric Clapton. Nicely done. You totally captured his tone and style.
2. The guitar sounds great.
3. How did you do this vibrato with your palm, and make sure that it came back to pitch?

Thanks paris.

The bridge is floating up off the body about 7/64" and I just push down on the very end of it when I want the vibrato effect, I don't like useing the arm.

As far as it returning to pitch, I've never had a problem with this, but I'm only doing light vibrato work.

I also sometimes don't use the vibrato arm, but not that much.

That sounds great,some very nice playing.I can't elp but notice how much your 60th Ann. Strat sounds like my '50th Ann. model,then again the 50th Ann. pups were supposedly set up the same way that the original '54 Strat pups were.

Thanks SBLS.

I took a little inspiration from the Blues Breakers on this one. :)

Nice RGM, wouldn't it be nice if Brad or Rob could add "canned applause" at the end of everyone's home vid.
