As per the title,any music from 1954 to 2024 that features this iconic guitar, the one that even non guitar players think of when an electric guitar is mentioned, it's even the shape of the guitar meme

At risk of being stoned for heresy, I'm not a fan of the Strat and much prefer the Les Paul. Still, since you asked...

Knopfler's playing is surely proof of the existence of God.

Ah, the Strat. I saved up for mine from my Saturday job in 1979 and I still have it. It still does all I ever need. Great opportunity to post something from one of the greatest Strat players, and greatest slide players, and greatest bands ever.

If it were the Tele's 70th birthday I'd link Larkin Poe's Mad As A Hatter from the Nu Deco Ensemble gig.
They're y current mild obsession and give me hope for the future of music.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

A rarity, he's playing a Strat, instead of his ('trademark') Gibson E335 Dot. or Telecaster
