the 'cooder-caster'.
I know of Ry Cooder but i only learned of this guitar today when looking at loller pickups.
they make a small supro pickup that could be used to do something like this...

I can't see the top picture - is it the Strat where he has some kind of horseshoe-magnet lap steel pickup in the bridge position?

I thought the pickup was in the middle position? I may be wrong as it's been about 20 years since I last saw it.

EDIT: Seems you're right Phil, here's a link I just googled (hopefully it'll work for everyone else ;) ) http://www.tdpri.com/forum/stratocaster-discussion-forum/40915-cooder-caster-strat-project-underway.html

The first and the last one, the first one a bit more cause it looks butchered which is the semi-subject in this topic :P
