Kinda true and funny. The Stratocaster has seen it all. From the birth of rock and roll to the invention of the internet, and beyond.
While the world has been advancing with new technology, the Stratocaster has been stuck in the 1950s. It’s still the same design, unchanged and unbroken. Talk about being a classic, or just plain stubborn. Yet, they tried to add software and USB thingies but that didn’t stick.
Maybe it’s just because the got the ultimate design from the very beginning. I suppose some things are just too perfect to mess with. You know what they say: If it’s not broken, don’t fix it.
This graphic actually comes from the book “Electric Guitar and Bass Design”. Cheers. M
