Best Strat I've ever played!

This is better than any American Fender that I have owned. So much, that today this is my only Strat. I do not own any other strat.

That's what Noel Gallagher says too. I wonder what makes it so much better...

Noel Gallagher spoke to Music Radar about recording his album "Chasing Yesterday", and mentioned using a Nash 63 Stratocaster. He says, "On this record, all over it, is a Nash ’63 Stratocaster, which is fucking outrageous, and I have a brown Nash Tele Deluxe, a ’72, which is also great."

It seems like this guitar is definitely used for "Chasing Yesterday",as Gallagher said in this Premier Guitar interview : "I’ve got two Nash guitars that might be the best Fender-style guitars I’ve ever played. One, a cream 1963 Strat, is all over the record, and the other, a ’72 Deluxe Tele, delivers an amazing sound. Whoever built these guitars is brilliant."

In an interview for Guitar World, Gallagher explained the backstory of how he got that guitar. "I had a very expensive 1963 off-white Strat stolen from me about three years ago. It was the best Strat I’d ever played. And I thought, I’m not fucking spending that much money to replace it, so I bought a Nash copy of it, and it’s the best guitar I’ve ever owned. Ever. And the Nash Tele is astonishing. I use them both all over my new record."
