| Influences Some of the design elements for the Green Lady were drawn from these guitars I've seen or played: ---1964 Fender Stratocaster (Body and neck design, control layout) ---1989 Fender Signature Series, Eric Clapton Stratocaster (TBX, vintage-style trem, Lace pickups) ---1989 Fender "Strat Plus" with blocked trem (roller nut, Lace pickups, setup & action) ---1991 American Deluxe Fat Strat (neck wood choice, radius, finish and inlay) ---1991 Gibson Chet Atkins SST (hollow body style, setup & action) ---1994 Gibson Signature Series, Howard Roberts Fusion (hollow body style, body tone wood) ---1988 Pensa-Suhr MK-1 (rear routing, figured top & headstock, EMG-style routs, knobs) |
