The Bonnie Raitt strat. Apparently it has a standard scale length but a narrower nut. I have average thickness fingers and I am pretty sure I'd hate it!
(This sprung to mind because there was a question about neck widths last week, and I was idly thinking along these lines.)
For the purpose of this thread, I’ll agree with @Rocker on Rory’s strat. Saw him play it quite a few times. Massive fan. I’d just feel so unworthy..
Mostly really f**king badly
I'd be quite happy to have a go at playing any guitar, even Rory's Strat, SRV's Number 1, the Peter Green-Gary Moore-Kirk Hammett Les Paul, etc. In fact I'd be fascinated to know what they're actually like to play.
For me, the whole "not worthy" syndrome only kicks in at the thought of owning such a guitar. It's the main reason I'm not keen on acquiring vintage guitars, because I feel they must have been owned by people who put them to much better use than I ever could. So in a way I'm letting down not only the guitar itself but also the previous owners.
I do actually own one not-very-valuable vintage guitar, but I've had it long enough that the spirit of the previous owner has probably given up on me and buggered off into the void. Or somewhere.
It had the original very gunky strings on and the action had gone rather high, so "play" isn't exactly the word.
If I pick it up it'll have action you could drive a bus under, wont stay in tune and feel like it's been soaked in superglue.
He'd pick it up and remind me that I'm now TWICE as bad as I thought I was.
