Buddy Guy's Stratocaster

In honor of Buddy Guy's January shows at Legends here is his strat. I like the soft V neck, very comfortable to play. It has a little pre-amp, too, which means that it doesn't really solely on the power from the chord to power the awesome Lace sensor pickups. The switches are the usual, 5 positions, one for each pickup and then one for in between adjacent pickups for the weird strat twang. Hendrix used mostly the far left position for the middle pickup alone, but Mr. Guy moves his around a little more on the recordings. This guitar won't make you sound great, but it will make you sound better.
