[Stoj]

Another of favourite strat players is little known outside of Australia, Ian Moss (ex-Cold Chisel).

That *looks* like a vintage maple neck Strat a la Brownie- do you think its a relic'd reissue? Find that kind of odd if it is.​

 

[P.Walker]

Gilmour, Clapton, Eric Johnson, Knopfler, Malmsteen

Beats me. 2004 shots of what appears to be the same Strat:

Isn't Brownie on display in Paul Allen's EMP Museum? At least, I'm pretty sure I saw it there around 2003 when first I toured the place, and Wikipedia claims:

On 24 June 1999 Clapton sold the guitar through Christie's Auction House in New York City to help raise funds for his alcohol and drug treatment center, Crossroads Centre. Brownie sold for US$497,500 becoming the most expensive guitar ever sold at the time only to be eclipsed by Clapton's other favourite guitar Blackie on 24 June 2004. Brownie can now be seen by the public at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, Washington under the ownership of Paul Allen. In 2006, another Stratocaster, signed by a large group of celebrities, including Clapton, was auctioned to benefit the victims of the 2004 Asian Tsunami, selling for US$2.6 million, shattering Brownie's record.

Sonny Landreth another not mentioned yet.

Yes, it is. The question is whether the sunburst Eric was seen with in 2004/2005 is a replica or a real 50's Strat.

 

[JBLPplayer]

Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, Rory, Robin Trower, Jeff Beck, Hendrix, Ronny Earl, Sonny Landreth and Tommy Bolin...
Ry Cooder as well but thats a Stratocaster in name only at this point.... Kinda like a super Bigsby guitar.

But one of the unknown greats... Ray Gomez... Check his stuff out... Especially a song called Sweet Life... Its on CD Baby... Recorded in 1990.... Life changing stuff..
