Nice!

I wish I had an American Strat.
I have a squire

But I am saving up to get a MIM strat and put the Texas Special Pickups in it.

Now Just slap some .13 gauge strings and a tube amp and I can pull off some SRV.
I underestimated that boy. No... it was not the boy I underestimated, it was the Triforce of Courage.

SRV is the first guitarist I really started to learn and I think helped me a ton in developing my style. His tone was just really strong, every vibrato was good, and yeah like you said in the OP he just pours out his soul every note because he is completely honest. I miss him, he was a wonderful person for the world but I guess he has work to do upstairs if you know what I mean?
Hoo Ra!

Um, fenders were the staple of a lot of metal musicians...

Dave Murray from Iron Maiden, Ritchie Blackmore, etc. It's just that more aggressive guitars from jackson, esp, etc get more attention.

There's very little difference. I bought a MIA last year and the only differences as far as I can tell are SLIGHTLY better neck quality, and a little better sounding (but still not so sexy) pickups.

For me it's a tough contest between Joe Pass, Django Reinhart, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, SRV, Mark Knopfler and Jerry Garcia.

If it was a question about the best guitar solo ever, then I would certainly go with the last, since the solo in Sultans of Swing transcends any other rock solo that comes to mind..(if we want to consider Dire Straits strictly rock, which we may not).

But all of them have such powerful strengths that make their brilliance to some degree incommensurable. These are merely my favorite, however, and although my list of favorite guitarists maps closely onto those I consider the best, in the latter category I would definitely beef up this list with several other names. But on any given day were I to think to myself "I want to listen to some great guitar work" these are the names that would come to mind.

Jimi Hendrix

He and myself are both leftys while playing guitar.

His style, unique musical sound, and the fact that he self taught himself inspired me to play.

Also, Purple Haze was the very first full song I ever learned.

Eric Clapton is my guitar god. I'd sacrifice a thousand groupies to his altar.
There's really no such thing as too many High Templar.
