I love Strats. Especially my super beat up 1972. It should be noted that Hendrix mostly played a Strat for two reasons. It had a wang bar, but more importantly, it was a double cutaway! For a guy playing upside-down guitars...that was key. Imagine playing a Les Paul ass end up? Or a Tele? Couldn't reach the high frets as easily as a Stratocaster..that is for sure. In the end...it was and is...all about the fingers and the heart.
