Me live 10/4/07 in San Jose with Malcolm Marshall & Star People.

Keys are my good friend Willsap.
Guitar Solo @ 5:30 (if you're anything like me you always check the solo first right:rolleyes:)
You can see Malcolm come up to me during the keys solo & he asked me if I wanted to solo (I had not soloed on that song before)
Afterwards I told him "never ask if the guitarist wants to solo, the answer is ALWAYS yes!"

Guitar:
Custom Dan Ransom maple top "stratele" into SF twin. No pedals in solo.
Made in 06, it has

strat p/u routing, elbo & belly cuts ( I was bruising my ribs before)
board made from 50 y/o rosewood.
no paint (because I thought the tone would be better) just stain & wax.
super low putput vanzandts
the highest action of any guitar I have ever owned... love the tone, sustain & feel. Also, keeps some of my rote licks out of the picture.Delay "trails" @ end of song are dd6 with a maxon ph-350
Thx for checking it out,
Best,
Cam

Loved it Cam...
You look like you're right out of the Scottish Highlands..
Right there in the mist of the funk...
I really dig all these different bands you're playing...
The sound of this guitar is excellent.. as is your playing...

I especially like the muting effect of your right hand...
but be easier with high action 'eh...

Funny your showing your part's axe... Saturday I ordered
a conversion neck for my Strat ....

We still have got to hang bro ...

Thx for the heads up :)
That perhaps would explain the lack of comments!
I figured folks just weren't feeling this one:o

Thx Joe.
I'll be in Monterey Nov 9.
Game on!
On the muting, the bridge is really high on this guitar which makes the muting stuff much easier for me.

Are Stratele's associated with the highlands?
I never saw one the 17 yrs I lived there...it was all pointy superstrats...
