    I have plenty respect for Tom, he just do not give a fuck about what people think, still funny and still making great music, and of course his music made our youth way better.

    I think it's funny he said he used his signature Strat on Dude Ranch considering he played a Les Paul during most of that era and he didn't get that signature guitar until enema of the state. Then again, I guess he had that white Fernandes Strat copy with all the stickers all over it during so maybe that's what he was referring to.

    • @llamashockz
      @llamashockz 8 лет назад +2

      I might be wrong but I think he used his les paul more on cheshire cat and earlier stuff. Theres a really old video of them playing wasting time live and hes using that.

    • @ILazzarus666
      @ILazzarus666 8 лет назад

      both of you are a bit off. He used a bootleg strat in cheshire cat it was a guitar company that made fender strat look alikes. Then in dude ranch era he used a les paul

    • @chrstncday
      @chrstncday 8 лет назад

      +llama shockz i think I've seen that. If it's the same video I'm thinking of, that was from '97 which was dude ranch era

    • @chrstncday
      @chrstncday 8 лет назад +1

      +Agustin Guzman yeah that "bootleg" strat was made by a company called Fernandes. I believe you can see it up close in the music video for M+M's during the clips of the band playing.

    • @ILazzarus666
      @ILazzarus666 8 лет назад +1

      +chrstncday yep exactly he uses the clone strat im cheshire era and in dude ranch he used it still but also switched back in forth between the clone strat and the les paul thats why you see the clone strat in the Dammit video but you see him playing Voyeur on a late show in like 98 and he uses the Les Paul.

      He had the wine red LP Standard with the billabong sticker (in Josie video) and he had a white Strat with a descendants sticker on the headstock and other various stickers on the body (in dammit video).

    • @SonikJesus

      Cleveland Steamer oh, and what did he use for his cab?

    • @thefriendlyfinger69
      @thefriendlyfinger69 7 лет назад

      Can't tell in the video, the cabs are unmarked. I imagine it was either a marshall or mesa 4X12, probably with Celestion V30s.

    • @secrettknight2972
      @secrettknight2972 7 лет назад

      Cleveland Steamer oh okay, cuz I'm tryna get a sound like him. The sound like in take of your pants and jacket and enema. Anything you reccomend for about 500 or less?

    • @thefriendlyfinger69
      @thefriendlyfinger69 7 лет назад

      Any strat - squier or copy - as long as it has the seymour duncan invader bridge pickup. A mesa mini rectifier is probably the most affordable amp I can think of that's closest to that sound. Impossible to get for under 500 mainly cause amps are expensive. Definitely worth it though.

      @griffinpaulbutler7614 7 лет назад +1

      Nateskates182 well he felt that a larger guitar suited him. He felt that he'd be able to play better

    • @Seabee156
      @Seabee156 7 лет назад +1

      Plus the guitar was pretty small and Tom is huge. So if you compare a strat to a 333 there's a big difference. I'm the same height as Tom and I prefer the 333 over the tiny strat

    • @griffinpaulbutler7614
      @griffinpaulbutler7614 7 лет назад

      Seabee156 I have played several strats, and sadly never have I even seen a 333. I want to play one so bad. Although, I’m shorter so I don’t feel the strat is real small. But, I can’t know until I play the 333.

  • @michaelpudlo
    @michaelpudlo 8 лет назад +1

    that is not the exact signature. most likely an early prototype. the diehards know the differences that can be seen in this video.

    • @blink-918
      @blink-918 8 лет назад +2

      Talking about his Surf one right? I have a 2002 TD strat and yeah you're right. It didn't have a backplate to unscrew. I noticed that. My favorite guitar and possession

    • @Duzz14

      There’s a cut in the pickguard for a selector switch. There’s something else too, I can’t remember. Was this one not a hard tail?

    • @lostinoc3528
      @lostinoc3528 8 лет назад

      Nick Heal well, he wasn't working with them by choice, he may not have said "i quit", but he stopped playing with them, before he was replaced. that is why I look at it more as he quit vs he was fired, because if he didn't stop working with them by his own choice, he would still be with them.
