NGD! Clapton Sig Art Strat!

[StratLover2]

Hi all!

So today I was advised to look out for a mystery package from U.P.S from my father, and so when I got home from work today, I discovered this beauty:

Clapton Stratocaster

When I plugged it in to my Micro Cube, I turned it onto the clean channel, and played around with the clean sounds. Sparkly and beautiful, but man, when I hit that midboost, I got some nice crunchy tones. When I turned it to the Classic, not changing the gain on the Cube, adding some midboost, it sounded like one of my guitars when I had it on the 2 o clock position on the gain, and keep in mind I was only at the 9 o clock position!

Thank you everybody! I am really enjoying getting to know this fantastic guitar!

Here's a quick little ditty I wrote on the new guitar, if you'd like to hear how she sounds (I'm having trouble naming her, trying to come up with a suitable name for her beauty..)

Sounds good as expected
For the name - make a poll

[VikingBlues]

Nice sounds - full of "Strat" resonances and tone.

Nice!!

Given it's a Clapton Strat, I'd be tempted to name her Patty, or Layla.

Layla sounds good indeed

Congrats Stratlover, it's a nice guitar!

Well, I ended up last night going with the name "Layla". I found it quite interesting that DB suggested that name, at almost the same time I was thinking about it..

Good choice.

Of course, you realize that Patty and Layla are the same person?
