Your One...and How To Hit the Jackpot


In The Black Strat book on page 126 it says... "The Black Strat's return to prominence was during the Pink Floyd rehearsals for Live8. The favoured red Strat had been used for the first two days of rehearsals at Black Island Studio, London. During the third day it was suggested that David should try the Black Strat, as he had used it on the original recordings of these songs. He put down the red one and began playing the Black Strat.
David's guitar sound instantly ascended to what can only be described as 'another level'. His body language changed, becoming animated and interacting with the guitar as if he had just dicovered an old long-lost friend."

I cannot make up a better example why one should go to your local guitar store, and play and test out different necks and guitars, for as long as it takes, to find the set-up that fits you. Only when you find this guitar that is specific to you, will you understand what it is like... to find 'your one'.
