The Strat King

MIDNIGHT · 08-20-2008, 08:46 PM

hey ya'll

i was just wondering.. who do you guys think is THE STRAT KING?

for me, i think it's either hendrix or stevie ray vaughan

.. i also thought of clapton

but i think he's a little less exclusive to strats as we all know his 'psychedelic' SG and i've also seen him with an ES-335.. but it's all good

so what do you guys think?

BstrdSonOJmsBrwn · 08-20-2008, 09:31 PM

Ritchie Blackmore!!!

stryker59 · 08-20-2008, 09:36 PM

SRV!! SRV!! SRV!!
buddy guy is high on the list as well!

overdriver · 08-21-2008, 02:05 AM

for me, though, no one tops Jimi. No one.

Redbird · 08-25-2008, 04:51 PM

SRV
Buddy Guy

Sorry Jimi........

mix · 08-25-2008, 05:58 PM

if it wasn't for SRV I wouldn't have got a strat as my 1st expensive guitar. Rory Gallagher also...

Belzeebub · 08-31-2008, 10:51 PM

+1 for EJ. He is the sole reason i have a strat. I discovered jimi much much later! and if i may throw in a couple:

Gary Moore. Yep. Although known for playing LPs, he has had fabulous performances on his red strat.

and another one for SRV.
