^^^^^^ This would be against the rules at TDPRI or Strattalk, I forget which I read that to be the case.

Or in my case, Bea. Drinking too much milk!!!!
Forget the bass....that Strat tone, the first few seconds of the clip, is unreal....!!!!

You guys are going to crucify me for this but I have never been a fan of Beck on a Strat. Not because of the tone but because the dude will not lay off the wang bar. Aesthetically, all that warbling just doesn't do it for me.

It's Okay...I don't like Clapton...
This destroys his Strat tone...

Indeed. I always liked the way he sounded on a LP, whenever I see him play now I wish he would go back. Feel the same thing about Clapton - the guy slays on a Gibson, but sounds like tapioca milquetoast on a Strat.
It's as if he plays differently too!!!!

I ain't no well-known gunslinger like those guys, but I absolutely play differently on a Gibson (24.75 scale) vs. Fender (25.5 scale). Different on the PRS 25 scale too. So I figure that may have something to do with it, but damn, what a difference in the way those two guys sound with different guitars.
YES! YES! You are the FIRST who has told me that! I been saying it for years!!!!!!!!! Almost everyone says there is NO difference and the difference is HUGE!!!!
I am still blown away by Gary Moore's Les Paul tone on Cold Day In hell Live - London 1992!!!!
That is good music to drink cough syrup to. Loaded with codine the prince of half nods

Ritchie Blackmoore also sounded *very* different on his ES335 than on his Strat. Listen, for example, to Child in Time on the Made in Japan and to the earlier release of that song on the Concerto with Group and Orchestra (where he still plaed the Gibson, much more powerful dynamics...)
BTW. why did all these people switch to Strats? Did Fender spend money for that? (a normal endorsement would be a joke for such well known guys, wouldn't it?)
