I didn't have anything else to do this morning; while washing clothes I flipped over to 101 and caught part of a Farm Aid 09 concert and there's Ernie Isley ripping up and down a custom Strat. A little too much bling for me but the inlay on the fretboard is nice. Not to mention that I deprived myself of years of enjoyment from a talented musician because as a teen we didn't listen to that soul and disco stuff... kick me... I wonder if Alain will want one of these...

(Place kick here) The Isley Brothers were one of the greatest rock-n-roll bands in the world in the 70s-Too bad radio got so segregated from then on-Ernie kinda has one solo that he plays, (so does EVH, for that matter) but it's a damn fine one (as is EVH's). They didn't miss in the 70s. The box set is great, and check out Ernie's "High Wire" solo CD from 1990-part of a great period of R&B-meets-hard rock-meets pop that was around then.

Bling, that's a good word for it.

I found the "high wire" CD in the used CD bins for real cheap some years ago.

My other guitar is a Strat.

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For many of us, me included the choice of guitar is down to feel and sound: cosmetics are a bonus. Others want something a bit different... maybe unique. That strat looks to be totally out there and he looks sooo comfortable with it. Bring it on!
