Hello Synkronized,

That Robert Cray starocaster is
a beauty in it's inca silver color.
Keep in mind this model is a hardtail,
so no tremolo which is fine if you
don't want it, but if you feel you have the
need for a whammy it's not here.

Cheers.

Very cool guitar. Very cool player. Check out the album Strong Persuader. He also co-wrote and guest played on one of the best Strat songs ever called Old Love found on Clapton's Journeyman album.

I saw him on a double-bill with SRV back in the day. Stevie actually opened for Robert Cray. It's hard to imagine now that Cray was more famous at that point.
I used to have an old VHS tape of Eric Clapton and Robert Cray on that late night music show David Sanborn used to have (Night Music?) playing Old Love. It was riviting. (Damn and I just found it on YouTube)

Synk, ya have to check out the "Dont be afraid of the dark" album.
RC is awesome, it should be a crime to be able to sing and play like he can.
