That's a young Robin Trower, right? It's weird seeing him with a Gibson, why did all British 70ies guitar heroes start on Gibsons and end with a Strat (and never - or rarely - the other way around). Is that the Hank Marvin AND Jimi Hendrix influence? Think Beck, Clapton, Blackmore ... Or they were Strat players right from the start and stuck to it (Gallagher, Gilmour). Mark Knopfler is one guy who was pretty much solely a Strat player initially and dug out a Les Paul (obviously after he could afford one!) more and more often as his career progressed though he never gave up the Strat entirely.
