I've seen your picture...you're right. We are! :laugh2:

Here's another great Strat album: Buddy Guy...I Was Walking Through the Woods. It's an old Chess album. Watch Yourself, My Time After A While and Broken Hearted Blues have some killer Stratocaster tones. Probably Buddy and his first 50's Strat through his '59 tweed Bassman. He said if he ever found another '59 Bassman to replace the one that got stolen he was going to build it into the wall of his house . :laugh2:

Course now he's got the Fender Cyber Twin! :smack: He says he loves it...

does having very low pickup height help at all?

Re: getting the strattiest sound possible

What is the best amp complement for the straty tone?
For Clapton it's Marshall for the Bell Bottom Blues tone?
For Buddy Guy it's Bassman?

What's Knopflers Amp choice?
For Billy Gibbons Blue Jean Blues it's Mesa?
