    Taking guitar lessons as a youngster in 1964 I was one month away from graduating to electric after completing one year on acoustic in a small northwestern Illinois town. A strat exactly like that (could it be that one? IDK) was on the highest shelf in the shop, I drooled over that guitar in all its Fendery, colorful goodness. Unfortunately, not the one my parents opted for. I’ve never forgotten that guitar & I vowed to own one some day but have yet to run across one that fits the bill. Until now of course but this one is clearly spoken for. We’ll see what the future holds...

    I'm a recent convert to all things HT. The intonation comes across crystal clear. There's no,"it's- kinda-outta-tune-even-when-it-is-freshly -tuned" sort of thing I find consistently on whichever Trem-Strat I play.
    Ht Strat's - and you can hear it loud & clear in this video - each and every note is strong, clearly intonated and in tune, and they all just riiing wonderfully clean! If I could have a HT Strat, I would choose it over a trem- strat anyday of the year!
    That's what makes Teles so great. Even Jazzmasters, I'm all about a stoptail & tun-o-matic instead of the stock, flawed, tremolo- bridge system. I've got my eyes on one now, as it happens. However, I've always thought if I get a stock Jazzmaster, I'll mod it thusly, anyway.

    Buddy Guy , Clapton , Robert Cray are biggest names on plays Stratocaster wihout the tremolo bar and right now Blackmore because he said : “ I don’t plays with the tremolo bar anymore because I’m not on tune “
    And the other guy is Mark Knopfler on the early years of Dire Straits he played with the tremolo bar and through the years he don’t use because never plays a dive bomb but I’m not sure on the video of Calling Elvis on the last dire straits record from 1991 he makes a standard tremolo sound .
    And the last guitar player Neal Schon ( Journey)maybe sometimes plays tremolo specially Floyd rose but only on his PRS and les Paul but he left the bar tremolo and plays blues improvisation and later songs like : Lights / Still they ride , I’ll be alright wihout you , loving touching squeezing sometimes but definitely he don’t plays with tremolo like on the early 80’s with the Eddie Van Halen influences and Hendrix but 2 guys still rocking with all the equipment ( standard tremolo bar ) Yngwie Malmsteen and Jeff Beck !

      @@trevorgwelch7412 Did I miss something? Did they say? What make and model of banjo? Regardless, you got me wondering. I've never seen Joe play a banjo. For real? Must be one hell of a banjo!

    Did he just say over 400 guitars and counting, yikes. If I was a professional musician similar to Mr. J. B. I would of have done the same thing myself.🎸🎸🎸🎸++ Thanks Joe and keep on rocking.
