Who Does This STRAT Make You Think Of????

[@adangarcia1570]

Frusciante

[@jimmyfranklin]

You know what? I didn’t think of frusciante until you mentioned it which is funny cuz everyone I mentioned played Strats with Maple fret boards and his was rosewood.

Tom Petty

[@scottprice4778]

Definitely SRV. He's the reason I wanted to learn to play.

[@jimmyfranklin]

He’s the reason a lot of us did! You play Strats???

[@scottprice4778]

@@jimmyfranklin I've only owned one, I love it but I moved on to acoustic for the most part. My baby is a 12 string Ovation. Sounds great when playing "life by the drop"

For me, it's Richie Valens (portrayed by Lou Diamond Phillips) in his final performance in the movie "La Bamba". I was 7 years old when I saw that movie and it was the reason I started playing guitar... I played and sang "Donna" for show and tell in first grade lol. Ten years later, my dad remembered and surprised me with a used '93 Fender Strat for my 17th birthday... sunburst with a maple fretboard, just like Richie, and he only paid $75 for it 😎 I'll be turning 45 next year, and I just put a fresh set of Slinkies on her. Thanks, Pop 🎸♥️

[@adangarcia1570]

Oh 💩, sorry Richie "RICHIEEEE...!!!" I saw that one as kid in the theater too. Loved it! He definitely deserves this mention! Buddy Holly too Thanks for reminding us Bro. Keep on jammin' 🤘🏽

[@Thedrummer123]

Rory Ghallager played one. And it's fire! His first record is recorded with it. Through a vox ac130. Bro insane. Laundromat, hands up, sinner boy. All recorded with his strat.

[@tommyapocalypse6096]

I think of myself - because I own one. 😁🙈

[@donmunson4802]

My grandfather. He owned a little music/tobacco shop in my hometown in Kansas. In 1954 I got to see one of the first Strats available. Even today, when I open the case of my AV54 (2014) Strat, I swear I can smell cigar smoke.

[@alejandrotechreviews]

Henry Garza from Los Lonely Boys which is one of the first bands I ever listened to as a child.

[@williamtreacy8567]

Rory Gallagher

[@jimmyfranklin]

It’s crazy how much this came up!! I hate that I didn’t think of it!!

[@rickmiller7884]

His was an unburst, LOL

[@MichaelandCathy1999]

His ‘61 is up for auction at BONHAM’S Auction House in a couple of weeks, bids are estimated to go over $1,400,000.00

Ritchie Blackmore

[@oLKdoBrasil]

frusciante, dave murray, srv, clapton, eric johnson and rory gallagher

[@AU5T1N2]

Clapton is one of my favorites and my dad was an even bigger fan to where he bought a sunburst strat just like Clapton. He also bought a black one too.

[@CGTGofficial]

Me personally, I think of Richie Blackmore

Myself my grandfather was playing one and we still have it in our family, most of man in my family used to play or is still playing some guitar and now I inherited this beautiful ‘59 sunburst strat from my pops who had it until now

[@Meep.14]

[@Derekanic.]

Myself, it's my main guitar.

[@Markopearson47]

My father, he has a ‘59 Strat and he still plays it to the day

[@ursafan40]

I'd ask my Dad to give away everything else, spend your money enjoying the last years, but please, when you die many years from now, leave me the Strat in your will

[@Markopearson47]

No

[@majikmuzik8036]

Myself. It was my first guitar in 1980.

[@bleepstudios2588]

Honestly Kurt Cobain lol. He loved using strats live and druing reading featival 1992 he was using a sunburst strat.

[@user-mv5bu2kk8b]

He had a mustang

[@depopsalator_6448]

John frusciante

[@josepherwin5122]

Respect to all those guys, including dude’s uncle, but the Sunburst Strat sends my mind straight to SRV. EVERY TIME.

[@juliusseizure324]

Eric Clapton was the first that came to mind.

[@matthewmartin7639]

Eric Johnson. Specifically the Austin City Limits concert. You know the one I'm talking about.

My Father n law, he bought his 59 after seeing Albert King live in a small club. When he passed it was gifted to me "Ray's Strat" I play it all the time at home, I will not gig with it.

i don't think i feel, i feel, playing that instrument in a dim light diner, soft jazzy r&b with sweet vocals and the acoustics of bass and the brushing on the snare!!!

[@Fungiarts]

Honestly I don't think about a particular player when I see a sunburst strat. I just think about how iconic the sunburst look is.

[@stooge81]

I was thinking 'Clapton' before you even began speaking

[@WhoDaF0ok1sThatGuy]

Ritchie Blackmore. I see a Strat and think of Blackmore. Doesn’t matter if it’s his good old Olympic White or some wacky rainbow colored Strat😂

[@HighLifeWorkout]

Andy Timmons

[@wxpuuu]

i never knew that this type of design was called a sunburst! i have had this design on a telecaster for the last few years and have been loving it

[@ryanweinburger135]

John Frusciante, and owning a Start exactly like this now is one of the reasons I think I subconsciously try to emulate him

[@shawnortmann9662]

GUITAR CENTER!!! Every time I walked in there there's a million of those same exact color guitars hanging on the wall...

[@FanOdinVR]

Normally this would be my first electric guitar, but i ended up with a second hand gibson les paul studio, i've been owning it for a year and a few months, and still sounds heavenly.

[@Gunsandguitars12]

I think of my father, that was his favorite guitar, it was passed down to me after he passed away.

[@IgorWocial]

If it’s a 60s stat with rosewood…then John Frusciante

[@dmdoppler115]

I think of my moms first electric guitar that was a nock off of a fender. It currently sits on my wall, and it was my first guitar to actually. I love it so much, and i will never let go of it.

[@SydneyDrums]

I looked through the comments and I'm amazed at how a few people have said Buddy Holly. His band was called The Crickets and it's a reason an English band from Liverpool called themselves the Beatles and later threw an A in because of beat music

[@theswampfox9584]

Clapton all the way- Layla and other assorted love songs- no one else mentioned here carries that magnitude of impact in a work music through that guitar

[@vaughn6820]

I always thought of me not being able to afford a real one and that still stands today...

[@egnbigdave]

Rory Gallagher. Every time.

[@tad5158]

Hendrix, SRV, Clapton, Eric Johnson, and Dick Dale.

[@храбрость-с-нас]

I think of Sergei Kudishin (Сергей Кудишин), a guitarist from Russia (he used to have a sunburst strat until 1993 because of suicide)

[@KalPachino]

eric clapton. the while my guitar gently weeps solo was my first introduction to guitar solos as a younglin who knew nothing about guitars

Stevie for sure. Clapton second and then Jimi’s

It’s my aunt who used to play in a punk band, cool lady.

[@connorclarke1218]

The brown burst I think of Clapton but the complete sunburst of course SRV

[@Thatonercguy_theoriginal]

I think of Hendrix or EVH mainly because what the frakenstrat looked like for the first time on VH1

[@wevefriends]

Billie Joe. The first thing I will ever think when I see a strat.

Man of taste

[@maxvanderhoning8375]

[@deadlyoneable]

Buddy holly for me. He’s the one premature death I would bring back more than anyone else. He was already innovative for the time, I think he wouldn’t done some amazing things in the 60’s

[@CG-rf6nu]

No one, just the guitar. I don't think anybody thinks of someone else when they see it but when you put them on the spot they'll try to remember somebody but they actually have no instant association, it's just a guitar, another tool in the box.

[@Bytheway-2004]

John fruiscante. But also me, because my first electric guitar was a squire sunburst bullet.

[@lastlogicallib]

Usually Clapton and funny enough, my uncle 😂 seriously

[@jakeawesome_usa6370]

First I thought of my guitar that I have that Sunburst just like that except I have the bigger pick up by the bridge. One of the reasons I got it is I saw Bryan May use one in the music video of Play the Game.
