Post subject:  Richard and Strats

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere/previously (if anyone else can answer, feel free):

I've often wondered why Mr. H never seems to use Strats. I'm sure he must have done on occasion/in the past, or maybe in the studio, and I know we all have our favorite guitars that we like and stick to, but I've never seen him use one ever, (unless I've just missed it!) so I thought I'd be nosey and ask.

If you're around Richard, I was just wondering, do you not get on with them/like them, or do you just find your Gretsch's and Rickie's/combinations of other guitars give you all the tones you ever need? Are there any particular tracks on any of the albums that you remember using a Strat on?

Thanks, and congrats on the new album, looking forward to the Liverpool show on Friday! :D

I had a strat up until recently,I bought it for my Dad but he only got to play a short while before he died....I gave it to Anna from the Ming City Rockers....I love Telecasters and Jaguars but never got on with Strats or Jazz masters either....I'm afraid I'm a semi acoustic boy through and through....although to contradict that I have a few solid body guitars.....I love the playing of Buddy Holly,Hendrix and loads of other Strat players....Dad had a 63 that was his pride and joy....he sold it for virtually nothing during the steel strikes which still rankles,but I just couldn't get a sound I liked.....that's about it

Was this the "UFO" lurking under the sofa, that started it all?

Just saw this old post..I tried one for the first time ever and although the neck and bridge sounds are useable the spiky in between tones....bridge middle/neck middle, have limited appeal for me. If you are into things like the Shadows then you need a Strat..and he used the bridge a lot..
