Strat chat

Post by jeremyb »

Having a massive strat want at the moment, tis weird, but I think it's the tone I now want, going back to simpler times, hendrix, clapton et al...

I think what I want is a mix of new and old, so something like a 60s strat but with a modern C neck and 12" radius fretboard...

Anyway found many an interesting video....
