Hello everyone. New to these forums. Coming from across the Pond to challenge you Brits! :P

Anyway, I'm building a strat, and am looking hard at the Slowhands. My style would be almost constantly clean, but every now and then I feel the need to let 'em rip SRV style. Now, I've been reading the forums about the Irish Tours, and hear that they're a bit bright, which is not what I'd like.

So, my question would be how good the Slowhands are clean. Also, feel free to advise something other than Slowhands if you feel the need to.

Oh, and if it matters, the fretboard would be ebony and the neck is rosewood. Body's just the standard alder.

Thanks in advance guys.

The Slowhands are very rich clean-nice rounded sound-I can only compare them to my other set of Apaches and in comparison they have thicker mids. They do cleans extremely well is the short answer.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

And welcome!
