One of the reasons I have strat GAS at the moment.......

Love the tone on this:

The intro bit and solo are particularly nice. Not all on the forum will like this but some may.

Nice tone indeed! Great playing as well!

Is that one of the limited edition Hendrix Monterrey strats he's playing? It's quire weird seeing an artist using another artists replica guitar  :lol:

Yep, it's a Monterey Strat.

Great tone and playing.  You can only get that sound with a Strat neck pickup....

Not sure what amp he was using - maybe a two rock?

I'm assuming the Monterey Strats cost a fortune!

They are limited to just 210 so I'd imagine it's definitely a mega-bucks guitar now.

210 only - that'll push the price up! Would be cheaper to get someone to do a custom paint job on a similar spec'd start!

Indeed. I saw a custom paint job Monterey strat in a shop on Denmark Street last time I was in London in July. I asked the guy about it and he told me it was done by a guy in Germany. They wanted £1499 for it. It was a very nice strat and the paint job was spot on.

it's a great video, got this performance from webster hall with the continuum album on DVD, which was strangely cheaper than the album on it's own  :?. A note about the monterey strat, I saw one in denmark street a while back for £1,200 or there abouts i think - wasn't too bad in my opinion

mayer's a kickass player. I don't understand all the hate. Though to be fair, he's more or less unheard of here (in the mainstream, anyway), so maybe that's partly it.

I've also got that DVD. It's on quite a bit when I'm cooking. Great stuff.
