duh. Sorry.
Let us not forget the immortal "Frampton Comes Alive".As well as Foreigner 4, Def Leppard's Pyromania, Journey's Escape and Styx's Paradise Theater.
Oh, and Loverboy's album, which thankfully I didn't own on vinyl and destroyed the tape.

Most don't think much about it, but the Strat was used a lot on that record (Show me the way, etc.)Let us not forget the immortal "Frampton Comes Alive".

That's why I mentioned it.
"When injustice becomes law then rebellion becomes duty."
Is it true that Frampton played the Strat on Do Yo Feel? I think I read it in a guitbox mag. Ain't sure.

When we saw Frampton on the "Alive" tour in '77 he used the 3PU LP Custom on "Do You Feel". He played a Fiesta Red Strat on "Jumpin' Jack Flash", "Show Me The Way", and a few others from that album.
To be brutally frank, with all the stompboxes and processing in his signal chain, it wouldn't have made a difference if he'd been playing a Teisco or a Turser -- neither his LP or his Strat revealed any of the hallmark tones we normally associate with those guitars.

That's what makes it so hard to distinguish them on Alive.

Nah, the Les Paul leads (without the box) are pretty cool. He gets those kind of sounds with that guitar since he got it back.
He was also pretty particular about which guitars he used n what songs. He calls the red strat the "show me the way guitar"
Buddy Guy on his Chess records especially First Time I Met The Blues, bridge pick up ice pick and twang action!
I need to go back and listen to those old Buddy Guy records.
Wish I had time and resources to produce a book on the best rock ALBUMS and the gear used on them, how that gear influenced the writing or production, etc.

Holy ancient thread Batman!
I kinda skimmed over this thread as a whole and what I think is that everyone has a slightly different take on what a Strat sounds like...
It's a versatile guitar, to be sure. I think a guitarist could do worse than show up at a gig with a Strat and a humbucker-equipped Tele and cover SO much ground. I know I'm loving my Fenders again. For awhile it was all about my Gretsch - and the Gibson/Epiphones that I have - but lately it's been all-Fender-all-the-time.

that can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint-by-number dreams..."
Band of WHO...? (KIDDING)
What I love about JH's recordings from that era are how thick his strat sounds.
Dan Hartman on "Free Ride."
George Harrison on slide.
Nile Rodgers on rhythm.
Gilmour on "Learning To Fly."
Knopfler on "Time Out Of Mind."
Jimi on "Wind Cries Mary."
Blackmore on "Highway Star."
All great Strat sounds, and all totally different.

Exactly!
I think I started playing about 2007? Anyway, this video was posted about then and Ive been chasing this ever since:

to me the 'ideal' strat sound is a low output bridge single coil straight into a blackface fender or early marshall. Ive never found too much difference between the two; just different shades of the same flavor. like if you make the same cookie recipe with more white sugar compared to brown.
That's f'd up!
I was reading through this zombie thread and thought to muself no one brought up John Mayer.
I never thought much about him other than there were a couple songs I thought ok and a few that sounded pretty bubble gummy...
I saw him at Crossroads festival in Chicago tho and was blown away. He did his his set and as usual for Crossroads, sat in with others. The man has great tone and taste. He definitely exceeded my expectations!
