Strat influences? it started in the early 90's for me, jimi hendrix. later on clapton (witch made me look into more into the blues) and SRV, also there's buddy guy. recently, john mayer made me look at a strat in a different way.
here's 'Consuelo'..
with my strat connected to a DOD YJM308 and Boss BD-2, it gives me the sound i wanted. rhythms at the neck+mid switch position and only my DOD on, crunchy. leads at the neck+mid or neck lang and my DOD with the BD-2 on, a whistling lead and long sustains.. sarap!
my Fender Standard Stratocaster MIM. i use a dunlop 9's strings, Fender Custom Shop Texas Special PUPs, changed the pickguard from white to an All-Parts Tortoise and installed 5 springs at the back for a tighter more fixed bridge settings (i dont use a trem bar kasi). plus the basic set-up of Roadtone Guitars and there it is..
