Qui utilisa le premier la strat ?

Bin ,on peut dire qu'elle a commencée en 1950 avec la "Broadcaster" rebatisée "Telecaster"! [/quote]

légère rectification, avant de s'appeller Broadcaster, les tout premiers modèles furent baptisés "Esquire"... ce nom resta pour les modèles à un micro... voir cet intéressant article hyper-spécialisé !

When first announced in June of 1950 as Fender's first electric solidbody, the Esquire was a available with either one or two pickups (actually the "single Esquire" with one pickup was available first), a black pine laminated body, a white pickguard, steel bridge saddles. Body shape was the standard "Telecaster" body shape, but only 1.5" thick (instead of the normal 1.75" thick). After the first few examples were made, the finish changed to butterscotch blond on a solid ash body, and later two pickups (known as the "Double Esquire"). Many 1950 Single Esquires had no truss rod (no contrasting strip down back of maple neck). Though there are at least two 1950 single pickup butterscotch Esquires with a truss rod.

dur dur d'etre précis en ce qui concerne le premier artiste à avoir jouer avec une strato' ...ceci dit j'ai pû glaner ça concernant buddy holly :

"Buddy Holly was one of the first rock & roll guitarists to use a Fender Stratocaster®, a guitar which had been introduced in 1954 and up until Holly had been used mostly by blues, R&B and country & western guitarists.
His use of the stillnewfangled instrument on his TV appearances greatly popularized it and caused many of the next generation of rock & rollers to rush out and buy it.
His brother Larry bought him his first Strat®, but it was later stolen; Holly owned three or four of them during his career.
The one he played at his last show, which was later returned to his parents, is now on display at the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock, Texas. The guitar was recently conserved by John Page of the Fender Custom Shop, and a white pick (a Gibson medium) was found wedged under the bottom of the pick guard, as can often be seen in photographs.
The tremolo plate was found to have five springs, making it lie flat instead of floating. Page believed that the guitar was set this way at the factory; Holly rarely used the tremolo arm, and setting it to lie flat would have given it better tone.
The Strat, serial #028228, is a ‘58 three-tone sunburst with an alder body and "slim C" profile neck. The neck measures .840" at the first fret, .992" at the 12th fret, and has a slightly larger-than-standard 1.665" nut.
The peghead thickness is .570". In July 1958, Manny’s in New York City shipped the Strat to him while he was on the road.
This instrument replaced a Strat stolen from the group’s station wagon while the band stopped for lunch in East St. Louis, Missouri.
According to Tommy Allsup, who played guitar for Holly, Fender shipped two free Stratocasters and two Twins (Fender Twin-Amp) to the band just before the July 1958 tour (one pair for Holly and one for Allsup), and it was Holly’s "free" Strat that was stolen and replaced by Manny’s.
Another Strat (most likely his original ‘55 model) had been stolen on one
of Alan Freed’s rock & roll package tours."

bon bah c'est Bill Carson visiblement , c'est lui qui testait les protos des '53, quand Leo et Freddy Tavarez était entrain de la pondre ...

Il est dit "... Bill Carson is the guitarist for whom Leo Fender designed the Stratocaster ...."

A noter que la premiere strat' est sortie des usines le 15 Mai 1954.

Il est à noter que la Strat qui porte le no de série 0001 est la propriété de David Gilmour,mais ce n'était pas la 1ere a avoir été fabriquée.
David Gilmour possède une collection très fournie en Strat de toutes années.(Miam,slurp!!)
