Stratocaster Electric Guitar
A selection of top guitar players who use Fender Strats
The almighty Fender Stratocaster- the guitar most people think of when they hear the word 'guitars'. The Stratocaster has been an icon since its beginnings in 1954, and will surely continue to be just that. Lets look at the players who made this axe the legendary guitar that it is today.
- Iron Maiden. All three members of Iron Maiden have at one time or another played with a Fender Stratocaster. Other than Steve Harris, Dave Murray is the only other founding member of Iron Maiden that is still with the band. Murray has used Paul Kosoff's Fender strat up until 1990 when he retired it. Murray has his own signature model with Seymour Duncan pickups and Floyd rose system on it -both a rarity for a Fender guitar, let alone a Strat. Murray's guitar partner in Maiden Janick Gers also favours the strat and Adrain Smith, although usually photographed with many different guitars also plays Strats.
- Eric Clapton. Ol' 'slow hands' as hes known, has played as many guitars as most people have had hot dinners, using everything from a Gibson Les Paul from his days in Cream and a Telecaster when he was in the Yardbirds. Clapton is mostly known for playing a Fender Strat called 'Blackie', which was used until the guitar was 'retired' in 1985. 'Blackie' was sold at auction to raise funds for the 'Crossroads' rehab centre and the guitar was sold for just under a million dollars. Swapping to Fender Strats in '69, Clapton has never gone back or strayed from the path since then.
- Jimi Hendrix. Jimi is considered the greatest guitar player ever after changing the way we use a electric guitar. Hendrix started playing the guitars in 1966, and then started to use them exclusively for recordings and live performances. Hendrix also tried out many different styles of guitars before choosing a Fender Strat, much like Clapton. He was left handed, so he played right handed guitars upside down and strung them in reverse order. Eric Clapton's birthday present to Jimi was supposed to be a left handed Strat, which Jimi never received due to his death. A strat was the guitar which Hendix set on fire on his 1969 Monterey international pop festival performance.
