C'mon, JB. I need to bask in the reflected glory of my $7k Custom Shop Strat. How else will I reaffirm to myself and others that I'm a 'serious' musician?jeremyb wrote:

I think that Chris Buck guy could play an unopened pack of strings and still sound amazing so don't take it too much to heart Brian!!

Re: Strat comparisons
Francis Dunnery and Yngwie played Japanese Squires in the early '80's because they were better than what the USA was throwing out the door at the time. I even remember Francis talking about it on a Channel 4 program back in the UK.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I'm determined not to go down the pickup rabbit hole! As a recent convert to stratomacasterers, I am entirely satisfied ( for once) in the stock pickups in my G&L. To me they nail the sound I have in my head.

Re: Strat comparisons
So John Mayer has some interesting wiring going on in the silver sky and the pickups are voiced with scooped mids, like his earlier pickups, the big dippers, fascinating! Must be something to do with the combination of amps he uses that makes it all sounds so good...
