I caught this image of a rocker on his last solo of the evening.
Al, I know you're seeing this! Any comments?

Great shot capturing the emotion of "the moment"! You can feel the guy digging into the note and the joy he's getting out of it. Nice!
Then the guitar player in me takes over and notices that (1) he's playing a Stratocaster with a rosewood fingerboard, (2) some serious string bending going on; from a high G to an A or even Bb, (3) looks like he has the pickup selector switch on the neck pickup, which is kinda unusual for most solos, and (4) I think it's a single-ply pickguard, which would make it a 1950's style reissue guitar. [long sigh] Guitar players can be geeks too :)
Thanks for sharing this!
AL
For those of you who don't know Al, he's my dear friend who has been lurking here since we started. Now, over two years and 900 pictures later, I finally made a picture that enticed him to de-lurk and say something! :)
Al, thanks for posting the comment. Now that you started, I hope you continue.
It's amazing what details an expert can see. To me (duh!), it just looks like "a guitar". :)

I like this photo a lot Warren, great capture of his expression, and the background window or wall lines, and lines of the mic work well.
Great info. on the guitar and playing Al! I used to have a 50's reissue strat with maple neck, but now only have a MIJ '57 reissue strat, MIM std tele, and LP special (reissue from '90s). The strat is in Japan, the tele and LP get played a lot.
Nice photo, man. Caught him when he was in Heaven.

Hi Ted. At the risk of boring the other forum members, yeah, the MIJ Strats are really fantastic instruments! I've got a '50's reissues myself that I had Rene Martinez (guitar tech for Stevie Ray Vaughan and Carlos Santana) re-do the neck and frets. I've got a boatload of other guitars, but the main ones are a 1973 Les Paul Custom and a Line 6 Variax.
AL
Al, which guitar were you playing that night? Just wondering...
--WT
It was the Line 6 Variax (http://line6.com/variax/), which is a modeling guitar that can emulate 25 different types of guitars. Ideal for a cover band situation where you need to have lots of different sounds and the ability to switch to alternate guitar tunings. I had it hooked up to a Line 6 Pod XTLive pedalboard (http://line6.com/podxtlive/), which emulates 42 different types of guitar amps. Too many choices!
Hi Al, sounds like a great setup. I know of Rene, but haven't had him work on my stuff. Larry Cragg has been working on my guitars since the mid'70s, and Sal Trentino has tended to my amp collection, and built me a custom amp since the mid '90s.
