First among equals on the very last night of his life on planet Earth......
"When injustice becomes law then rebellion becomes duty."
This guy has 40 red white and blue shoe strings, a thousand telephones that won't ring and a Strat.
Another great songwriter, but he also had his own influencial rhythm style.

What is it with actors and bridge humbuckers?
This could get to be a really long thread.

May be this one was just re-necked.
They wouldn't hand him a bogus Strat, would they?

Oh, man... two identical MAWG guitar faces in one shot.
I'm sorry.

This one is just for you.
This one is lightened and cut out, so you can see the soul patch, and get a glimpse of the huge watch that says, "I'm a man who appreciates the finer things in life."

Is that...the Top Chef guy?
Man. *Everybody* plays guitar.
"I haven't slept for ten days...because that would be too long." -- Mitch Hedberg
Oh, brother.
Yep, that's the "Top Chef" guy... he once appeared on the cover of a magazine that Neo brought to my attention... some kind of "I only buy petro-buck instruments and hang them on the wall" thing that is to guitar playing what "Cigar Aficionado" is to tobacco... a celebration of becoming the kind of douchebag who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.
More of one of the the old bald-ish British guys:
I won't be getting any more like this as he's finally banned
the use of "cameras with removable lenses" along with video.
That's a 50's Strat.

I can't figure out if that's Steven Seagal or Mandy Patinkin.
A tw*t with a Strat…………..and yet Strats are still cool
At least Blair had good taste in guitars. Gordon Brown doesn't know shit about Stratocasters.

That's Martin Sheen. Apocalypse Now, The Dead Zone, The West Wing, and one of my favorites, Cadence.

Direstraits--great Knopfler photos. Looks like he's growing a set of manboobs, and he used to be a thin bloke.

I recognized Martin Sheen when I posted the pic. But why the heck is he autographing guitars at the Custom Shop?
Must've been some kind of fund-raising auction for the St. Joseph Center. He's a big liberal, and we do love our charity fundraisers.
He was in a TV movie called "The California Kid," so I guess that's his connection to the guitar he's holding...although I have no idea why they chose to name the guitar for a 1974 TV movie instead of one of his more famous flicks. (Well, I can understand why they didn't want to put "The Dead Zone" on the fretboard of a Strat, but otherwise.... )
Edited to add: That custom Strat was definitely inspired by the movie. Still strange, though.

1955 Strat Mr Ron Wood
I see Clapton and Knopfler are using the 99 cent Dunlop Lok Straps these days. I got some and they are much cheaper than switching to full strap lock systems. They work really well.
