Quotes on the Stratocaster
"“I love the Strat because it can play the roles of many guitars. You can access such a diverse range of tones—which makes it extremely attractive as a touring instrument. It’s also a simple case of habit and familiarity. I’ve been playing Strats for decades, and, at this point, I’d feel wrong playing anything else.” (Guitar Player, August 2007)"
