Looks like Michael J. Fox auditioning for "Light Of Day" during a break from shooting "Teen Wolf."

played it through his very frayed and worn tweed Deluxe cranked in a big club with no mic. It kept it from overdriving too badly. The neck pickup is worthless.

That second strat is gorgeous. Too bad the stuff is all owned by the collectors now and not so much the guys that play 'em! Oh well, that's why there's the ever-affordable and easilly personallized parts-o-caster, I guess.

I started playing back in '85 when I was a senior in high school. I can remember blackface Fender amps going for $200, and OLD LP's, Strats, and Teles going for no more than $500. Everybody wanted a $700 Charvel or a BC Rich. Someday that stuff will probably get valuable again, although it will be a while.
