Actually What it Is was recorded with the Red Schecter Strat. That was the very last time Mark played that, at least in studio
Yes I heard this, but I'm not really sure it was the case.
Don't forget that many times, journalist, Guy, or even Mark's quotes are false ! just because they do'nt remember excatly what gear they used some months or years ago
Mark said in an itw that trawlerman'song was played on the 54 strat, and of course it's not (he used it on tour and on boothbay though)
WII sound likely more the 61 than the schecter strat. And around 98, 99 or 2000, when WII was recorded, Mark was more in the vintage "trip" (Les paul, 54 strat, blonde telecaster...) so I don't see why he would have used a so 80s guitar (even if he used it on going home on ANIL)
on STP promo tour in late 2000, and on tour in 2001, he always played it on the 61, so it's more likely that he ued it in srudio just before, rather tahn the schceter, but of course we will never be sure
The Signature strat is a guitar that Mark designed for the strat sound he wanted in the early 00's, end not to be a copy of his original Fender red strat.
Yes I know, but I was disapointed that he wanted a more "modern" sound than the vintage one, like many guitarists did in these days
let's not forget David's legendary #00001 strat, which he does still play on occasions...prime example being..
I think many here know this, but it's of course NOT the very 1st strat build.
You can hear it on ABITW part 2 for the famous funky rhythm
