In this article, 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.'”
