Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar

This guitar is a vintage Fender 1963 fiesta red stratocaster, it was up for sale at Emerald City Guitars for $55,000.

John bought this guitar sometime in 2000 and started using it on tours as a backup for his main 1962 Stratocaster (see Rock in Rio 2001). It was used for a relatively brief period of time, as John apparently didn’t like it that much. There’s a cool white early-’60s Strat that was rented to me at one point for some reason, and I just had such fun playing that I bought it. But it ended up not really being able to alternate with my other guitars; it’s the kind of guitar you can have some fun on, but it’s not really practical. – VintageGuitar.com Note: this is not the same white Strat that John used during Stadium Arcadium tour.

Jimi's first ever Fender Stratocaster was a white 1964 model with rosewood fingerboard. He obtained it in New York, from Manny's Music, with funds from his girlfriend Carol Shiroky. It cost $289. He actually bought it from Jeff Baxter, later of Steely Dan, who was working at Manny's as an assistant, and he remembers the incident clearly. Citation for this information can be found in several pages (including 61 and 62) of the book [*Jimi Hendrix Gear*](https://books.google.com/books?id=fpUuXZU9-1QC&printsec=frontcover).

This guitar was used briefly during July 2002 for "Baba O' Riley" and "I Can't Explain". "For one song in each of two consecutive shows in July 2002 (Baba O’Riley at Tweeter Center For the Performing Arts, Mansfield, Massachusetts, 26 July, 2002; and I Can’t Explain at Tweeter Center at the Waterfront, Camden, N.J., 27 July, 2002), Pete Townshend used a black Fender Stratocaster guitar equipped with two P-90-style pickups, rather than the usual Gold Lace Sensor pickups found in the Eric Clapton model guitars. This guitar was also customised with the Fishman Powerbridge and additional blend control knob, although the traditional controls consisted of only two knobs (presumably volume and tone), rather than the traditional three, and a traditional Fender-style “blade” pickup selector."

And in an [interview](http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Interview_Alex_Lifeson) with Premier Guitar he says, "Yeah, I sort of went through a Fender period. In fact, we did a gig with Blue Oyster Cult at the Nassau Coliseum in the late seventies, and one of the horns had fallen off of the stack and then fell on my 335, as well as a double neck that I had. It sheared a headstock off the double neck, and it took a real big gouge out of the neck of the 335. So I decided, 'Okay, the 335’s going home, that’s not going to be on the road anymore.' I got a Strat as a backup, and I just wasn’t quite comfortable with it, you know, coming from the Gibson world. So I got a Schaller neck for it, and I put a humbucker in the bridge position—just fooling with it a little bit, trying to get something that was sort of a hybrid between a Gibson and a Fender."

In [this interview](http://www.feelnumb.com/2009/11/24/the-famous-zappahendrix-guitar/#lightbox/1/), Zappa says, “Well, there was this guy named Howard Parker – they called him ‘H’ – who was Hendrix’s roadie, gofer and general assistant. He stayed at our house for a couple of months in the late ’60s, and he had this guitar which Hendrix had given to him – I thought it was from the Miami concert. He gave it to me and we had it hanging on the wall as a decoration for years and years, and then I met some guys who were capable of putting guitars back together, so I had it done.” “I’ve used it on a couple of tracks, although I can’t remember which ones off-hand. I haven’t played it all that often, because unless you’re in the right environment and you’re standing in exactly the right relationship to the amplifier, it likes to feed back all the time.”

Premier Guitar Interview: John Scofield - Uncle John’s Electro-Jam Band Jason Shadrick June 20, 2013 Re: Fender Stratocaster Custom Shop Relic model Are they vintage Fenders or newer ones? No, they are fake vintage. [Laughs.] They’re from the Custom Shop. I told a friend of mine, Artie Smith, who is one of the great guitar guys in New York, that I wanted to get a Strat, but didn’t want to spend 15 grand on a vintage one. He said there was a good one at Sam Ash, so I went up there and played it for a while. I was totally embarrassed to buy it, because it has a fake cigarette burn in it and screws that have been rusted and two kinds of rubbed-off finish. [Laughs.] But you know, it sounds really good and it’s a great guitar.

At 0:06 and through out the video you can see joe strummer with a fender stratocaster Correction: Strummer's guitar in the Vienna '81 show isn't a traditional Stratocaster as suggested in the product photo. My best guess is that its an MIJ Fender Contemporary Stratocaster body (single pickup, two control knobs), but the neck is clearly a US Fender, with the large headstock - the lack of skunk stripe, single string tree and large logo date this (I think) to '69 or '70. The pickup appears to be a non-Fender humbucker on an LP-style mount (possibly an uncovered Gibson mini humbucker?), and mounted at an angle on the pickguard. This must have been a custom build or prototype, likely from Fender, given to Joe along with the maple-neck tele that he used as a backup.

In [this article](http://www.vintageguitar.com/3477/steve-winwood/), by Vintage Guitar, Winwood talks about Stratocasters: "'When I finally got to make some money, in about 1966, I ordered a couple of Fenders – a Strat and a Tele,' explains Winwood. 'They were CBS, and they just started remaking the maple necks. Of course, I’d seen pictures of these old guys playing maple necks, and that was a big thing. I loved the kind of stuff that Curtis Mayfield was doing – that style – and Little Milton. It wasn’t so much a driven style of guitar; it was like a clean sound. I didn’t realize that I had convinced Eric to play the Strat until reading his book. In fact, I learned a lot of things about Eric’s and my relationship after I read his book.'”

"Right now I’m split between two main guitars. One is a Strat. I was a Les Paul guy for years, and then I kind of rediscovered the Strat more recently and I’ve found my own voice a little more on it. Before, I always felt there was some element in the back of my mind of feeling as though I was a poor imitation of Slash. But I think as soon as I stepped over to a Strat, that helped me find my own voice."

... This is the story of Tangerine Dream’s Ricochet.... The array of electronic equipment used by Tangerine Dream on that tour was formidable indeed. For its time it looked nothing short of a futuristic world controlled by machines. For the die hard rig fanatics, an approximate list of the machines used by the three members of the group at the Coventry Cathedral show included:

"Nice thing turned up from Fender USA today. Half term means scant opportunity to fiddle but so far so wow. It's a "Christ help me, I can't stop playing" type deal. Is this the best strat I've ever owned or played?"

Mickey Melchiondo—a,k,a, Dean Ween and one half of Pennsylvania experimental rock outfit Ween—has been a Stratocaster guy for a long time, dating back to a Squier Strat his father bought him as a teenager. And even though he’s admittedly bought and sold “hundreds of Strats” over the years, Melchiondo is ubiquitously known for playing a heavily modified Dakota Red Stratocaster that is truly unique. It all started back in the early 1990s, when Melchiondo stumbled into a Santa Monica, Calif., guitar store midway through a Ween tour. He was immediately drawn to what would become his signature instrument for years to come. “I can’t really even describe to you the moment I found that guitar,” he told Fender.com. “I was leaving with that guitar. Whether it cost $50,000, it was going out the door with me. I knew that I had found the instrument that I had been looking for my entire life. It was really magical.” According to the shop owner, the guitar was actually used on the recording of Tina Turner’s 1984 hit “Private Dancer,” and Melchiondo immediately noticed its pristine setup and uncommon jumbo frets. Interestingly enough, the Strat’s pre-CBS body also had a 1961 rosewood slab fingerboard neck bolted to it. Considering its excellent playability, Melchiondo didn’t fuss with the guitar for a while. But the self-described tinkerer couldn’t hold off for long. The first things he addressed were the pickups. As he does with all of his guitars, Melchiondo put Lace Sensor pickups in the middle and neck position and a roaring Seymour Duncan Hot Rails humbucker in the lead position. “The Seymour Duncan Hot Rails is the loudest pickup made known to man, and that’s why I like it,” he said. "It just really, really, really cranks – it gives you a lot more overdrive then a regular stock Fender pickup. "The Lace Sensors are pretty quiet. A Strat is a notorious buzzing guitar–makes that telltale buzz on stage. They are noisy pickups because they are single coil pickups and they pickup AM radio and God knows what else, but the Lace Sensors are dead quiet. It takes that vintage sound of a Strat and just improves upon it." The other changes to Melchiondo's Strat go beyond what he estimates are five or six refrets, four sets of tuners, and multiple tailpieces and saddles. One time when Ween was on the road, the Strat’s saddles were too rusted to adjust the height of the strings, so he stuck tiny pieces of brass under them to get the action where he liked it. Melchiondo also stabilized the tremolo by hammering a piece of wood between the spring block and body to help maintain proper tuning. Accoding to Melciondo, "all that's left on the '61 Strat is the wood, which makes it all his own and a trusted partner on stage and in the studio for more than two decades. Funny thing is ... as many mods as Melchiondo has done on the guitar, he might not be finished. “I believe that guitars are meant to be played," said Melchiondo. "My guitar is more than 50 years old and it would probably be more valuable in its original condition, but I need it to work to the best of its ability every night so I enjoy tinkering with it to make it the way I like it.”

"With Motorhead, I used a Stratocaster because it gave me a little bit of edge." He also says in the same article: "Live, these days, I’ve been enjoying the Stratocaster. It’s got a little more versatility. My Stratocaster had a DiMarzio X2N in the bridge, a DiMarzio SDS-1 in the front, and a Fender pickup in the middle. I just added a DiMarzio Super Distortion in the bridge. It gives me a tad more edge."

> The writing studio’s compactness leant itself nicely to Bayley’s process. Keeping his essentials within arm’s reach, he has guitars: Hofner 176, Fender Stratocaster, Selmer Classical, Fender Precision bass with flat-wound strings, Roland Jupiter-6, Korg MS-20, ARP 2600—which made it onto every song on the album—a vintage Neumann U 87 microphone, and a couple of API preamps. Recording happens into Pro Tools, with Ableton preferable for sequencing and programming. Keeping things simple allows Bayley to whiz around, patching in what he needs quickly.

Later on the Hysteria Tour when “Love Bites” was released as a single Steve would be seen on stage with a Fender Stratocaster – which was a fairly rare thing to see with Steve being primarily a Gibson man at this point in his career. This Stratocaster is the one that he uses in the video for the“Love Bites” single. Steve had stated in an interview in Guitarist magazine in 1988 that he had a Fender Stratocaster fitted with Bill Lawrence pick-ups. Bill Lawrence pick-ups are renowned for their excellent tonal qualities. I assume that it is this guitar he’s referring to regarding those pick-ups, but I cannot be sure. Steve’s “Love Bites” strat is a Fender with the standard SSS pick-up configuration. It also has a rosewood fingerboard and is finished in the very nice gunmetal blue colour, looking similar to one that Jimmy Page had. It’s also fitted with a Kahler “Traditional Series” 2520 fulcrum tremolo unit.

> “I got it from Bob Heil, who developed the Heil Talk Box,” Bachman says. “This is the guitar I played on ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet’ and ‘Lookin Out for #1.’ People ask me if I played a Les Paul on those tracks, but it’s this Strat on the neck position. It used to have a Canadian flag sticker on it, and if you look at the back of the neck, you’ll see that I took off the finish and sanded the neck like a violin, because violin was the first instrument I played. I’ve done this to several of my Strats, because I do a lot of sliding and find the stock finishes to be a bit too tacky sometimes.”

In this interview with Fender, Freddie Cowan tells how he got his first Stratocaster and why he finds it versatile.

Here's the B-52's with "Give Me Back My Man" live in 1982 on the Mesopotamia tour with Ricky on a Stratocaster (probably the same from the original source). (ORIGINAL SOURCE) Ricky's playing a Strat on this concert photo - https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1663402643926861&set=g.8183524066&type=1&theater To add more details. Starting around the tour for Mesopotamia in 1981-1982, Ricky started using a black Fender Stratocaster a lot. This may be the same guitar also used by Keith Strickland later (ie, the one seen in the "Love Shack" video). Ricky used this guitar in many different tunings or may have had multiple Stratocasters. It appears this one is a vintage pre-CBS model going off the small headstock and maple neck, possibly late 1950's. You can tell when Ricky plays it because it's got a much more airy, modulating, and pingy sound than his other guitars. It's also possible his sister Cindy ALSO used this guitar for "There's a Moon in the Sky" and Kate used it for "52 Girls" as well on this tour. May be the communal B-52's guitar. not much of that is known. In the video he's in DADxBB tuning. He also may have had one in BADXG#C# tuning for Party out of Bounds and Quiche Lorraine as well. Ricky continued to use the Strat right up until he passed on, and apparently Keith may have started using it on Cosmic Thing onward.

"I had a nanny who was in a rock band when I was about 8 or 9, and she would bring her guitar to my house and teach me her songs. She was so rad. She never cared about me doing homework as long as I learned a new song or a few new chords each night. I then saved up my money and when I was 11 bought my first guitar, a sunburst Fender Stratocaster. I then started writing my own songs and making up guitar riffs and recording them on an old four-track."

Scott Lucas shows his modified Fender Stratocaster at around 2:40 into this video of his gear rundown. It appears to be a standard Fender Strat, black with white pickguard, with a rosewood neck. He says, “So, I do this to all of my guitars that I get. So I try not to get the greatest, nicest guitars ‘cause I’m just gonna have to destroy them. What you see here with this Strat that I have, I removed the middle pickup, took the bridge pickup and put an [SG](https://equipboard.com/items/gibson-sg-standard-electric-guitar) pickup in there, and then put the bass pickup there [points to low E and A strings]. The bass pickup only comes under the bottom two strings, and then a separate jack and that’s where the bass comes out. That goes into the [Ampeg bass amp](https://equipboard.com/items/ampeg-classic-series-8-x-10-cabinet).” He then goes on to say that with this setup, the root note of whatever chord he plays has to be on the bottom two strings, to have the intended bass sound.

He is just using it... damn

In the clip Ric is playing either an origina 1954 or a reissue 1954 Stratocaster (either would make sense, The Cars were HUGE when/after Heartbeat City came out, so Ric would have the money for a 54' Strat, but also it could have been another Elliot Easton thing as Elliot was working with the early Fender custom shop off/on at the time, before they were even called that). Ric owned at least 2 other strats, a black on black 1977-1979 model, and a Black & White one that was smashed in the "True To You" video from his solo career. Also, Ric Ocasek has cited Buddy Holly as an influence so the fact he plays a Strat every so often is not that surprising.

"I had one electric guitar, a 1960 Fiesta Red Stratocaster. We were playing barrooms and it was hotter than hell—I would be soaking wet at the end of every gig. I remember watching the Fiesta Red just come off the guitar onto my white shirt. I didn’t realize how much the guitar would eventually be worth. When I think back, it is hilarious that I was literally wiping the paint off the guitar. "

Now if you want to talk guitar, ask Dave Gregory. He was crushed that he couldn't take his entire guitar harem (over 20) with him for Oranges and Lemons, but he made do with his faves: a 1953 Gibson Les Paul gold-top; a Schecter Telecaster-style ("quite versatile"); a 1963 Stratocaster; a semi-hollow 1964 Epiphone Riviera with miniature humbuckers, heard on the "Pink Thing" solo ("It has a nice Beatley sound"); and one of the first 25 Rickenbacker 12-strings shipped to England in the wake of A Hard Day's Night. Gregory uses Ernie Ball strings "out of force of habit," but creates his own gauge set: .011-.013-.016-.024-.038-.050. He has a Roland JC-120 amp "for those rare occasions that I go out of the house," and a Japanese Fender Sidekick 30 amp for home practice. Effects include a MIDIverb and D1500. For keyboard dabbling he keeps a Roland JX3P with MSQ-100 sequencer, and "an old acoustic piano."

I just wanted a little more bite. After ten years the first neck was literally worn out, and replaced with a 1955. The original bridge was another casualty."

Billy owns/owned quite a few vintage Stratocasters of varying years, here's some taking from the Vintage Guitar Article - FULL ARTICLE HERE - https://www.vintageguitar.com/3221/billy-squier/ Here's Billy on the Expanded wiring he does to all of his Stratocasters to obtain all 7 pickup combinations After Derek & The Dominos, was released, I tracked down a ’57 Strat without a tremolo. It was then that I came up with what I believe to be the original expanded wiring design for this guitar. What happened was, I didn’t like having to jockey the toggle switch into those in-between positions for the out-of-phase funky sounds that Clapton was using, so I went to a couple of hot-shot guitar techs to see if they could help. The catch was I didn’t want to alter any of the original knobs or introduce anything new that would disturb the integrity of the instrument. When they couldn’t sort me out, I came up with the idea of converting the second tone control into a volume control for the neck pickup. I then wired the middle and lead pickups to the toggle switch in a normal two-pickup configuration. This enabled me to play any combination of pickups – seven in all – with no alterations to the body or pickguard. The Strats I have today are wired this way. When and how did the others come along? My next move was to swap my ’57 Strat for a similar one with a whammy bar, in ’76. I acquired the Tele Custom for Tale of the Tape around the time I hooked up with Richie Friedman at We Buy Guitars on 48th Street. After Don’t Say No, he got me my first ‘Burst – a ’58. I picked up my ’56 Les Paul Junior in Red Bank, New Jersey, and in ’82, Richie got me my ’51 No-Caster. Next was my ’63 Strat, which I believe came from Perry Margolof. In ’83, I was given a ’58 Burst by my merchandiser and friend, Peter Lubin, at the start of the second leg of the Emotions tour. After my original ’58 was stolen, I eased the pain by buying a ’59 from a guy in the Midwest. I also went back to Richie and picked up a ’58 goldtop that had previously belonged to Henry Gross, who previously owned my ’58 Burst. I found the ’58 Rick from a collector named Richard Heyman, in the East Village; he had a bunch of them. That must have been around 1990 or ’91. During a photo shoot in L.A. for the Truth album, I borrowed a ’52 goldtop that had been refinished in green and black, and I liked it so much that I went back to the shop and bought it. That was in early ’93.

Throughout this video Justice clearly plays a Fender Stratocaster.

"This is '62 Strat and I have a lot of guitars that are like working man's vintage guitars. [...] It is a vintage guitar, it has all pickups, the wood is original, but some things have been done to it, that it made more affordable for a guy like me, just a working guy like me. And you can see that someone has put a Floyd Rose or a Kahler or something and they took it off and spray painted, and put the original bridge, but it just plays great, it's super light-weight, I played like a million solos on this guitar. So I'll do a lot of rhythm playing in a middle or neck position, and then I'll do my solos on the bridge position. And a lot of Stratocasters have bridge pickups that could be thin-sounding, but this one is just..fat. It's a fat, gnarly and noisy and great, so I've used this. Whoever had it before me, you can guess it was girlfriends' name, Helen. [someone carved this name into the guitar]. But this is a '62 and at some point I first got it, I put locking tuners on it, but it just plays great, stays in tune and you know, what I'm looking for in an instrument is something that stays in tune. It sounds great, but you know, staying in tune is really important. Especially when you're recording." - Greenberg about 1962 Fender Stratocaster.

"Though a Gibson guy since his start, Geissman acquired this ’66 Strat in high school, “But, I didn’t know what to do with a Fender,” he said. In the early ’70s, he sold it, then in 2014 found it for sale online. “I noticed the Chiquita sticker on the bridge cover – put there by my stepbrother to cover his initials, and thought, ‘That’s gotta be the same guitar.’ It was, so I got it back.” "

You’re mostly associated with the Stratocaster. The guitar you’re using now appears to be a 60’s model with a humbucker bridge pickup. Can you tell us a little more about it? – Yes. I bought it new, from Chandlers shop in Kew, in London about twelve years ago. It is sea-foam green having American electronics (Seymour Duncan Alnico Two pick-ups – single coil except for bridge position which is a dual tapped humbucker) and Japanese wooden parts. It has a pearlised scratchplate and was assembled by my friend Brinsley Schwartz for Chandler Guitars. It actually looks turquoise to me, but I’m a bit colour-blind!

Jardine on his 60's gear: "The problem is we kept losing them because we toured so much. They’d get stolen right off the back of the truck. We could never keep them in stock. We’d just have to get new ones, so I don’t have a clue where they are. So through the Sixties we’d just keep recycling them. I have a couple of replica Strats that play almost as good as the originals, or as the one I was playing in the Eighties, which is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I think I’m gonna ask for it back so I can go out and play it. It’s nice to look at, but it should be played."

"Your fabled Strat played a big role in the recording of Exile. What’s the story behind the two DeArmond pickups you have in it? Well, when I joined Brush Shiels’ band [in ’74], Brush was playing guitar at that point, and he was getting an electric guitar made for him by Gary Nelson—he’s an Irish guitar-maker who lives just outside Dublin. He hadn’t got any of these pickups that they have in America or England, but he did have DeArmond pickups. So he made the guitar, and Brush brought it down to soundcheck one night and asked if I wanted to try it out. I thought the tone was really nice, so Brush said, “Why don’t you try DeArmonds in your Strat? If you don’t like them, you can take them out.” So I went off to Gary Nelson and he put the two DeArmonds on, and they’ve been on there ever since. To this day I don’t know whether they’re single-coil or double-coil. They look like double-coil, but I think there’s a single-coil pickup underneath."

We can see a Strat here. It might be a 70's reissue or from 70's. Big headstock can narrow down the possible models.

I think at other times he used a Gibson SG. Stevie Shears aparently had a Selmer amp Which at the time was the only decent amp the band had. I read that somewhere.

What equipment are you using? Same white Stratocaster as always. A Tele. Just got a 1956 Les Paul TV Jnr from Stevie Klasson in Sweden. Love the sound of the P90 pickup. I've also got a reverse Firebird and a 335 which I play open tuned. Marshall amps then I switched to Fenders. A pair of Fender Vibro Kings sound good. Ten inch speakers. Not twelves. Find a good Fender amp that matches the guitar and off you go. I've got a Martin M38 acoustic I've played for 20 years which is a sweetheart; and a 12 string Guild acoustic which records like a dream.

Instruments around the room include a Fender Strat with a telecaster neck; a Yamaha CS80 ("still my favourite synth") and a MultiMoog, both of which he tries to steer clear of since they are distinctive of After The Fire days; latest acquisition: a Yamaha DX7 with the KX5 ("it's a dummy MIDI keyboard that works with the DX7 for slinging round your neck and posing with. It's great actually. It's got all the things the DX7 does; all touch response, breath control, modulation, pitch bend, sustain.").

Fender Stratocaster (Color Red)

John Eatherly has used a red Fender Stratocaster almost exclusively while touring with Public Access T.V., especially after a fire destroyed many instruments in their apartment. He can be seen using it in their 2016 Bonaroo performance. He has made a few modifications to this guitar. It seems as if he has removed the volume knob and shortened the pickup selector. This may have been in order to reduce the chance of him accidentally hitting these controls while playing.

Direct from this "Alpine Valley" video in the description section, Tolo provides a history of his Stratocaster- "guitarist TOLO MARTON plays his composition Alpine Valley at Roxy Bar in 1998, after he won the Jimi Hendrix Guitar Guitar Festival in Seattle, a worldwide competition held by the Jimi Hendrix Family in 1998. He received the First Prize (senior category) from the hands of Al Hendrix himself: the prize was an extremely rare prototype of the Woodstock tribute white Strat that Jimi played (handcrafted by the luthers of Fender Custom Shop)".

In poche settimane recivetti la risposta e ordinai la mia vera prima chitarra profesional, una fantastica Fender Stratocaster.
