The first (Part 1)

The first person whom I saw playing a Strat was Eurythmic's Dave Stewart. He isn't a flashy, technical player, more of a deliverer of necessities. I've seen Dave play on TV a few times subsequently & noted:
  • his Strats were visual attraction, namely due to a unique body finish like the one depicted here (chrome plating)
  • his live tones were never like his recordings; I clearly remember because Dave strummed his flange/ vibrato/ delay laden guitar that was never part of Sweet Dreams
