  • A fine example of a mid '50s Strat that has quickly become a shop favorite! The neck has a comfortable V shape that is strong at the first fret and tappers towards the body. The original pickups are nicely balanced with a great fat classic strat tone.

    Among the best guitar tones ever. It's frustrating how amazing and specifically unique '50s Strats sound. Fullness and quack all in one. Also, JD is a living legend.

    @scottmatheson2390 6 лет назад +1

    I really dig this guy and have since the first lick I heard him play. He doesn't bring a lot of originality to the table but he does bring a truck load of soul and style and conviction. There are far too many guitar players out there now who can't do ANY of that. No style, no conviction and no soul just the licks, learned by rote and cranked out with predictable mediocrity. This guy GETS IT. You can't just ape the licks you have listen to and digest the music and get it inside you. It's not so much about copying the notes as it is understanding the groove behind them and recognizing the chords from which they spring.

    JD's playing is exceptional as ever - but he really doesn't look well. I hope there's no health issues dogging him, because whenever a new video shows up featuring JD he looks a little more the worse for wear.

    • @stratmagic6893
      @stratmagic6893 6 лет назад +2

      No it is because he used to be much thinner and looked healthier and the suit thing seems contrived to me considering what he was wearing for most of his career. Why resort to name calling? I was only voicing my opinion and it seems that 7 people agree with me. I started off by saying how much I love his playing and his band. You ended your comment by calling me a "jackass". I think you should look in the mirror.

    • @ebeep
      @ebeep 6 лет назад +1

      Well, you are defending your unsolicited criticism of JD's appearance as well as your instructing him how to dress and to get some exercise. Would you like JD to ask the internet what to eat and wear every morning? Does JD have any contributing factors/health issues that would affect his weight? We don't know because it's none of our business. Your comments are equally rude and deserving of some serious mirror time. Jackass is crude and dismissive, but also apt.
