Robert Cray

Robert Cray in studio Knoxville, TN - This is a very special Robert Cray in-studio visit to i105's studios. Notice the use of an acoustic guitar. The guitar was shipped to Mr. Cray exclusively for use in this in-studio performance. We feel special...and he ROCKED it too!

The Robert Cray Stratocaster guitar is a “strong persuader,” providing the sound, sustain and expression Cray is so well known for. Features include an alder body, lightly figured maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with 21 frets, custom-wound vintage-style Stratocaster pickups, non-tremolo hard-tail bridge and vintage-style gold hardware. Here we see he is playing that guitar at Live on Sunday Night 1989.

Robert Cray is now known for playing a pair of Matchless Clubman 35 Heads for his concerts getting an elegant clean blues sound from his Strat.

Robert Cray can be seen using the deluxe reverb around 4 min. 15 secs mark.

“I still have the Fender Super Reverb and use it for recording sometimes, with a Fender Vibro-King as a second stage amp, but the Matchless Clubman 35 is my main amp - Class A 35 watts with a 4x10 cabinet, and I use two of them. Jimmie Vaughan used the same setup for a while." -Robert Cray
