You nerd. ;)
This was your quote:
"I'm sure there are more, those are the only ones I can think of off
the top of my head. So, I'd say there are quite a few examples of a
good Strat surf tone..."
Now I'm just going to make one tiny edit...

There we go! Much better. :)

I'm of course honored by your compliment, but as a Strat afficianado,
I feel I must rise to the defense of that most perfect of all
instruments! Here's a list of other guys that I think we would all
agree got a pretty good Strat surf tone:
First Wave:
Dick Dale
Jim Messina
Brian Carman & Bob Spickard (The Chantays)
Paul Johnson & Eddie Bertrand (the Belairs)
Al Nichol (The Crossfires)
Skip Mercier & Willy Glover (The Pyramids)
Jim Fuller (The Surfaris)
Jim Skiathitis & Theo Penglis (The Atlantics)
Modern:
John Blair
Gregg Hunt (The Bomboras)
Rip Thrillby (he started using the Jag more in the last year or two,
but for a long time before that an MIM Strat was his baby)
Eddie Angel
Miles Corbin (The Aqua Velvets)
Michael Sellers (Langhorns)
Shigeo Naki (of course not all the time, but more than occasionally)
Rick Mills (The Volcanos) - before the Jazzmaster
I'm sure there are more, those are the only ones I can think of off
the top of my head. So, I'd say there are quite a few examples of a
good Strat surf tone...
Just had to point this out. Thanks.
Ivan
