Who is the guitarist (and in some cases what song, period of life, etc.) that for you defines the perfect Strat tone? I know there's many amazing Strat guitarists out there so there are alot of musicians to choose from but try to keep it to the one that really sets the standard for you. :?:

Not to sound completely unoriginal, but Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower" really does it for me. Simply masterful.

Stevie Ray Vaughan for me. From the Telephone Song, to Lenny, to Riviera Paradise, to Couldn't Stand the Weather - all the shades of Strat tones that I love.

John Mayall, beano album. Thats the ultimate guitar tone ever. Its not a strat, but its awesome all the same.

Everything else since is just other people wanting to get that tone. SRV, Eric Johnson, Billy Gibbons. They all admit it too. Even hendrix only came to england to meet clapton. That shows how big a influence he was on JH. They all admit it too.

Ritchie Blackmore - "Highway Star"

Hank Marvin - you name it, but especially his version of "Sleepwalk"

Clapton - all of it, but especially what he's doing lately. "Further On Up The Road," from the album Just One Night. Sublime.

Stevie Ray Vaughan. Somethin in the meat of his hands just gives out this raw; metal grinding; fat tone I've never heard before or after...although there is this 15 year old prodigy i've made friends with at GC who NAILS it. hes got really fat fingertips!

Clapton and SRV...Clapton more though..but lord willin if you could mix the two tones together. Thing that gets me with Clapton is he's had so many different sounds associated with him over the span of his career...and it always seems others want it, whether with the Strat or LP or ES he used to play.

Mark Knopfler - Sultans of Swing. That song is the reason I play guitar and the reason the guitar I play is a strat.

Good ones all-I will add Richard Thompson, "Albatross" by Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, and the Strat King of England, Hank Marvin.
