Knopfler/Hendrix/Blackmore

Kellar: fruity means that lovely rounded tone you get from a really good strat when using the neck pickup and indeed sometimes using neck and middle.

Ahh yes, now I get it. Although, fruity doesn't really sit well with me. I used to manage a produce store, and when I think of fruity I envision moldy strawberries and peaches. :(

...ahh,thanks,dear friend!!I am going thru a re-discovery of Mr. Trower at the moment-I just picked up the remastered "Bridge of Sighs"(sigh...!)...a top 10 must have for all who rock!!

Likewise - I haven't listened to it enough times yet, but it seems on first impression that the remastering has brought out little things I hadn't heard before on the older CDs.  I don't normally have much time for bonus tracks, but the ones on this CD are awesome!  :D

this is a Hendrix Woodstock Strat...it was made for a righty to play upside down, but I talked the dealer out of it(being a lefty, it fit like a glove!)the MM's are perfect in this particular axe-I am not sure of exactly what year this Strat is modeled after(60's obviously, but I forget what year exactly)

Ah, I knew it was a Hendrix one but couldn't remember if it was a Woodstock, Tribute, Voodoo or what (how many Hendrix Strats have Fender made?  :lol: ).  I suppose it's '68-'69 spec because it has the big black-lettering logo and, I think, F-stamped Schaller tuners? (I always call the big headstock "70s" but of course it started in the mid sixties  :oops: ).
