Pastel Black: occassionally (from what I understand) American strat bodies, necks, and parts find their way onto Mex Strats. However, I'd tell you to go for the real deal. My first non-beginer electric was a Mex strat, and it seemed great until I tried to put highquality, sensitive pickups in it. The result is that the great pickups brought out the bad construction aspects(and inferior wood materials) that are in a Mex strat. Personally, If you are interested in a strat you should give the Ibanez S470 a try. With the right pickups it can sound very stratty, while also being rid of all of the crappy overtones that strats have alot of the time. Also it just downright plays like the best super strat in the world!

what breaks a heart: when i first started playing guitar i bought a jem 555 (once i was really serious) and the guy at our music store at xmas was having a drawing for a guitar. well he offered to sell the guitar to me for 200 dollars at the time. since i had the vai guitar i was like "no i dont want another signature guitar." and so i didnt buy it. now 10 years later i wish i had bought that like new "yngwie malmsteen signature strat" arrrrrrgh!!!!!!1

Mr. Nick --- Dude, that's really funny! :)
elpp --- Very sorry to hear about your loss. My heart and my condolences go out to your family. May God be with you all in this trying time. There are some wastes of skin in this world and rest assured they'll get what's coming to them in the end. Keep the faith, man...
Peter Mulas --- how's it swinging, man? :) In case you don't know, I'm the artist formerly known as Prog X. :) Got a new project, you should check out some of my stuff...I'm on SoundClick now. Here's the link. By the way, what the hell is going on over there at IUMA??? I loaded my stuff up there a month ago and still no page. Is that place going belly up?
ANIMAL FOR G3! :)
By the way, for those of you who do not know, the Muppet known as Animal was inspired by Keith Moon. As far as drummers go...I personally like the 'donut' dude from Men Without Hats! Ha ha ha... :D
Sorry to hear what happened to the Ozzman, folks. Let's keep him in our prayers and root for his speedy recovery. :) Peace.

js js I originally typed "miserable faliure" into google, and got a page about people who compete to make mathematical computer models of geometric robots which then race each other. I thought this was pretty sad, so it was plausible what Nick was referring to. However, I should have typed in, "miserable failure" which brought up the Bush thing.
gibsonplayer The anthology is a best of Joe album, and it is a cd not a dvd. You may have been confused because Steve Vai is also releasing an anthology cd, and he is releasing a live dvd as well (totally separate from the cd.)
plum loco Nice photos.

I "flaied" miserably, did I? Graham, you should have remembered from our last sparring match that it is SUICIDE to make a spelling mistake when correcting someone's english!
fusion5000 Its good to see you back in here, Simon!

Pastel Black.....it is true that the American strat's are superior as far as quality and craftmanship, but I once had a Lake Placid Blue Japanese-made strat that had one hell of a good sound, I loved it. The imported Strat's are definately better made these days. My buddy has two Mexican strats that sound really sweet. Anyhoo...if I had the $$$, I'd go with the American-made axe. On the other hand, I saw a brand new Mex Strat in a local music store with a really cool flame paint job on a black body (flames on the headstock too) for only $470. I've been hinting to my GF that it would be a wonderful Christmas gift, but I don't think she's buying it (literally)...lol

Alexandre > i did see that comment. thank you very much, it means a lot coming from such a great player.
UF Dean > Well at least two thirds of your playlist would have been GOOD music.
Prog X > As i listened to your tunes i had flashbacks of the music of my sega mega drive games! really entertaining music man, it seems you have improved with your songwriting as well as technique. Thsanks for the link.
As far as IUMA is concerned, i think they have a huge database of artists and alot of problems, hopefully they wont go belly up.
Thanks for all your wishes to get the card to me. Maybe it will come today? I will check the mail soon...

Greg M - I figured out where I saw the DVD bit. It's in the Home page of this site. Under "Anthology Giveaway"...
Once you click on it says:
"Answer this poll to automatically be entered in a random drawing (Dec 9) for copies of The Electric Joe Satriani Anthology DVD autographed by Joe!"
A typo maybe? or is there a DVD coming out?

Ovation - I hear what you're saying... it seems like Mike and the sax player come outta no where with the melodies. Track 4, I think it's called Lose the Surf, does that at a few points... He got soul!
And lol, we will "will" with all we've got to get that card to Pete before Xmas! And what an amazing use of an alliteration on my part!
Michelle - heh, T2J Will Power! It could happen....
Fusion - Welcome back man... did you end up getting that Jackson?
UF Dean - lol, the Gator just won't cut it anymore... maybe send it to Al and see if he'll give it a chance...
Hmm... Researching music and math. Frequencies. Overtones. Interval Ratios. Pythagorean Comma = fun stuff....
