    STRAT TRIVIA QUESTION!!

    Here`s a good question for you all. What is your earliest recollection of hearing that in between pickup tones from a Strat on a recording, or live show. My first time to notice, was Hendrix Spanish Castle majic. He used that tone a lot on that Album, and I can`t seem to recall hearing anyone use it earlier than that.
    whats your thoughts on that ??

    The earliest thing I think I can remember hearing that squawk is Ronnie Montrose doin' Edgar Winter's Free Ride ... Not as early as Jimi ... but still kinda way back there somewhere :hee

    That was it for me too Spanish Castle Magic.

    Hendrix called that the king tone probably a reference to Albert King.

    The intro to Spanish Castle Magic kills me everytime I hear it beautiful chords.

    A little bit later for me--I remember hearing "Wonderful Tonight" on the radio and being enthralled with that tone. It was the first ting that hit me years later when I got to try my first Stratocaster at a music store. "Hey, I know this sound..."
