To refer to the OP's question, what about the godfather of hard rock, Ritchie Blackmore? Or Yngwie ? All great Strat players, IHMV. 8)

Recently bought an American Special Arctic white 2016 Strat. Put SD hot rails pickup in bridge. It smokes. I play Priest, Bon era ACDC and Accept. Glad I got the strat, I am an SG player but the strat cooks through a JCM 800 Marshall.

Very cool man! I can't wait to get mine, 40 days and counting before it gets to the store from the factory.

Two others ... both with signature Strat models, too. Yngwie and (of course) Blackmore

No, he isn't. The first clue is that the "American Pro" is a new series that didn't exist when that picture was taken.
Visible differences include the guitar on the picture having 21 frets, not 22 like the American Pro; a large headstock, not a small one; a brass nut, not a melamine one; and a scalloped fretboard.
Non-visible differences include a Wilkinson vibrato, changed pickups, and the color being yellowed white and not "olympic white", which is a light shade of beige.

Much less distracting. Less is more, and less still would be even better. This isn't really a forum where people use big graphical signatures, it is more about the content.

What can I say, I'm a rebel. :P The fiery ball is something I created myself, inspired by "One little Victory" by RUSH.
