what i find strange is that all the 60's Gibson guitar players all play Fenders now? Eric, Beck, Richards, Townsend. all did their best and most famous songs on Gibbies, why do they play stupid Strats now?

excuse me but what are' figure 8's' in bass playing?

Jack was using a single finger to play the strings.  He moved it around in a manner that looked like a figure 8 across the strings.

That worked! Agree with your earlier comment, vox and bass nailed it but the guitar overdubs are unfortunate.

They got rattled by Hendrix.

Also buying 10 Strats to find one body and one neck that worked together was more fun than one Gibson that worked out of the box.

They are old and need a comfy guitar. You can hate Fenders but a Strat is the epitome of ergonomics in a guitar.

Beck played an Esquire in his Yard Bird days.

Because Strats play well and many people really like their sound. 

Yield unto Gibson those things which are Gibson's, and to Fender those things which are Fender's.
