Jeff Healey of The Jeff Healey Band, not only a brilliant songwriter, singer & guitarist, he did all this being blind, if you've seen the film "Roadhouse" starring Patrick Swayze, The Jeff Healey Band played the house band, he played sat down with the guitar across his lap, with his left hand arched over the fretboard, and he didn't use expensive instruments, favouring Squier Stratocasters, he died in 2008 of cancer aged 41

During the 1970's the Squier Strats/Tele's were reckoned to be better than the CBS Fender guitars, particularly the Japanese Squier made ones.
Fender also tried to get Tokai to make them but they were too expensive so Tokai made them under their own name (with full specs sent by Fender) and they were better.........................The secret, superior wood used in construction especially in the Maple used for the 'necks'

He wasn't a song writer

 

[glasgowcyclist]

He wasn't a song writer

Neither was William Shatner or Lee Marvin!

Isn't the thread for singers who made great songs, not specifically for song writers?

Edited to add: According to Wikipedia he has written and co-written several songs.

I thought the Squier range were brought out in the early 80's to try and compete with the Yamaha Pacifica's, with production originally in Japan at FujiGen, then China, and Indonesia at the Cort Plant, the alleged best ones were the Fender badged Squier Series, made with U.S made necks & bodies, but assembled in Ensenada, Mexico around 1995 when the Fender Mexico plant burnt down

Jimi Hendrix, nothing like him before, changed the sound of Rock forever, also Peter Green, early Fleetwood Mac & The Blues Breakers before then, a tortured genius, with a touch on the guitar that very few can match, he could go from a whisper to a scream, his songs stand the test of time even now

Both great guitar players, but I wouldn't put either in a list of great singers or song writers.
