Members mysterybat35 Posted February 5, 2006 Members Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi, I was wondering if anyone could add to this list and maybe post some pics of the strats. The only ones I have seen so far that have lipstick pickups on their strats are Stevie Ray Vaughan, Ernie Isley, and I Think maybe Keith Richards any other artists? Thanks MB35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Uriah Posted February 5, 2006 Members Share Posted February 5, 2006 Chandler used to make them things (might still do), had one years ago but didn't really like it. Several Danos as well, and all sorts of people used them, like Jimmy Page, ect... not sure about them in strats though. As far as production guitars go, check with Chandler to see who used (uses) them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mysterybat35 Posted February 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted February 5, 2006 Stevie's Ernie's Now im actually not sure if one of the Stones' guitarists used lipsticks on their strat or not. It may have been Ron Wood but I'm not sure. mB35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ibentmywookie Posted February 6, 2006 Members Share Posted February 6, 2006 i know hello kitty won't even touch a strat unless it has lipstick pups in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mysterybat35 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Members Share Posted February 6, 2006 hey, I'm not feminine or anything but that Hello Kitty guitar is just beautiful. If I had a choice between Beyonce and that guitar, I'll take the guitar hands down. BTW it may be just the camera angle of the picture, but those pickups look more like lace sensor?

I saw that guitar. Those pups are the longer dano ones. I was thinking more along the lines of smaller strat sized ones. mb35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members C-4 Posted February 7, 2006 Members Share Posted February 7, 2006 Don't mistake Lace Chrome Domes for Lipstick pups. If the pickup looks like it has a slightly squared off top, it could possibly be a Lace Chrome Dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Chandler is still alive and well... http://www.chandlerguitars.com/ I don't think they are enjoying past glories, but they havn't left us.
