I'm trying to compile some information for a blog i might create about guitar, guitarists, and everything else having to do with guitar. It would help a lot if you would list your 10 favorite Strat using guitarists of all-time...labeling it as such. ex. 1. Eric Clapton 2. Yngwie Malmsteen......10. Jimi Hendrix

Thanks to those who repond and help me in my research.

Nice to see someone recognising Randy California Arjay, great player from a much under-rated group.

I'm seeing a lot names I totally agree with, but I find lists like this very subjective. How do you evaluate such a thing. Who is better? There's no way to evailate it. Do vote technical ability? Than Clapton and Hendrix. Do you rate by $$$. Than someone else might be better.

My personal favorates are:

1. Eric Clapton
2. SRV
3. Andy Summers
4. Buddy Guy
5. Robert Cray
6. David Gilmour
7. Mark knopfler
8. Jeff Beck
9. Hank Marvin
10. Otis Rush

1. SRV
2. Buddy Guy
3. Jimi Hendrix
4. Eric Clapton
5. Eric Johnson
6. Richie Sambora
7. Kenny Wayne Shepherd
8. Mick Mars
9. Jeff Healey
10. YJM

This is just my opinion.

I've been a huge fan of Nuno (Extreme) since their first album. I was always under the impression that he played Washburn, with the Stephen's Extended Cutaway, exclusively. I've never seen him with a Fender. His Washburn's are Strat bodied, but not Fender.
