I might just have to buy this Sage Metallic Strat off my friend who's selling it. It's quite gorgeous, perfect neck. I gave it a little workout on this great old tune:

That was a great version on that tune. Loved it.
Guitar sounds great, but Kirk, I think if it were nothing more than a shoe box with strings you could make it sing.

Hi Kirk, sounds great!
Which stratocaster were you playing at The Gympie Muster concert?

YouTube - KIRK LORANGE BAND @ THE GYMPIE MUSTER

Really cool sound you had going!

Beautiful Kirk , perhaps you could start dropping a few Fathers Day hints Clancy's way.

Thanks, everyone. With a tune like that, how can you go wrong?

Yes, it's a beautiful guitar, very heavy. Must be dense wood and I think it's glassy tone comes from that. I recorded this through a Digitech, straight into the PC, so it's a featureless sound compared to what it sounds like coming out of an amp. I also used headphones throughout and when I finally plugged the speakers in, there was a big booming bass frequency coming out shaking the windows. And what had I done with the raw files? Deleted them, idiot that I am. I had to take bass off the whole track to make it usable, which made it all sound nasally and brittle.

Live and learn. Never mix with headphones!

Kirk,
Your analogy of the sound is equally as important as the featured tune. Helps me compare the warmth of one against the other.
