Johnny,

Have you ever listened to Buddy Holly's first recordings??? If not, give them a listen...beautiful bouncy 'rockabilly' type Strat tones abound. I could be mistaken, but, I believe he used a mid 50's strat into a tweed pro.

What about the lead tones on the Television albums? Marquee Moon, for example...or, every note David Byrne ever played on any of the Talking Heads records?

David Gilmore's sound in Pink Floyd?

The electric guitar playing on Bob Dylan's 'Bringin' it all Back Home?' That's a great early sixties Strat sound with some nice flatwound strings.

Pops Staples and the Staple Singers? Every classic Motown & R&B tune from the 60's???

I will NOT let this thread die!!!
