Members notcool Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Not me. I play hard rock stuff, not blues or SRV wannabe {censored}. I never thought of the Strat as a 'blues' guitar. If I really want to play the blues I can dig out my great big hollow body electric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GCDEF Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 That's a fail post on two counts. The OP confirmed that this was a genuine question, and one that deserved an answer. Strat or a Suhr? ... Makes zero difference. It's what you do with it that counts. And the guy from Nigeria confirmed he was really the attorney for a dead king looking for a partner to help him dispose of forty million dollars.

Members Bro Blue Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Can someone *please* post a clip of an old well-dressed, rich white guy with a sweet amp playing blues on a strat? How's this? or this: What a Hendrix wannabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Yes... every time I play my strat through a compressor, a delay and my AC15 trying to emulate The Edge, I sound exactly like SRV.It's the damnedest thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dash4814 Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 My Hot Rails-equipped strat is a punk rock machine. Nice "thwack," with a nice thick pick, that I can't get out of any of my other guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members deadllama Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Real blues players play this. This. But, being from Memphis, I can assure you that a lot of crappy wannabe blues players, most of them white and middle-aged, play down on Beale Street all the time, and always they play "The Sky is Crying" and "Mustang Sally" and so on and so forth... and they always have a Strat, and it's always got a rosewood fretboard, and they usually have a Dr. Z amp. I definitely think there's some credence to the Strat being a "lawyer guitar", at least in Memphis on "world famous" Beale Street--but that doesn't mean you can't use it for anything else you want. I find the sound of a Strat comes more from who's playing it than which Strat it is, more times than not. And hell, no two are alike, so if you got one, it wouldn't play like anybody else's anyway. ...but all the hill country blues guys I love play {censored}ty Indonesian guitars (Ibanez GRX-40's, that sort of thing) or they play weirdo Japanese 60's and 70's stuff that they bought new, and it's always beat to hell, and they're always plugged straight into a Peavey, and they always sound better than I ever will.

Members Xenoanthropus Posted February 18, 2010 Members Share Posted February 18, 2010 Trevor Peres (Obituary) also uses strats... I would argue that a H/H Strat with a floyd rose doesn't really qualify as astrat anymore, technically speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
