+1 on RG. It also made me appreciate rusted screws on guitars.

these are less people who make me want strats and more people who make me realise not all strats have to sound like the white man blues.

I always wanted to avoid the Strat as it epitomises a lot things i dislike in music, but, inevitably i got one as its such a great guitar.

Without going onto the Superstrats..
Jimi Hendrix
Dave Murray (Iron Maiden)
Richie Blackmore
Yngwie Malmsteen
Dave Gilmour
Jeff Beck

More recently..

He's a guy I liked way better when he played a Les Paul and even a Tele. So I didn't put him eventhough he is masterful with a Strat vibrato.

I also didn't put Clapton for that reason because I like him way better with a Les Paul or an SG.
