Derek is where he went Stratty (conveniently, rhymes with "batty", which is also applicable), but fortunately Duane Allman still kept a Les Paul in the mix.
I mean don't get me wrong, I love Strats in the right context. and he nailed it on "Layla" And Other Love Songs. but he rarely got it right again after that.

His 80s output wasn't too bad. He dipped in the late 70s, and the 90s is a blur to me, but I thought Journeyman sounded pretty good.
Best Strat players for getting a beefy sound tend to be Froosh, Eric Johnson and Simon Neil to me.
Exhibit A! (You can tell how old this is cos the band are wearing clothes)

Taekwondoin - generally love me superstrats but Jacksons have never really done it for me. I like them to either look like Strats, supercharged, or have a hilariously weird hockey-stick headstock that is going to hurt me and other band members in my flailing proximity.
Here's something to think about: Eric Johnson is such a massive guitar perfectionist that he believes that different brands of batteries alter the tone of the equipment you're using. No wonder it takes about 5 years per album for him! Any truth to this you think guys?

For me it's the neck that i like so much, they feel so comfortable in my hand and on my fingers, and I'm a bit of a fender fanboy, so keeping it in the family is always a bonus for me. I also love the sounds from the SLX series.

I guess it could make a difference, maybe not from one high end battery brand to another high end brand, but certainly between a cheaper one and a more expensive one if they are giving different, or more consistent output of power. Maybe it wouldn't change the tone so much as the power behind the tone?

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... fake "vintage" batteries.

I'm pretty sure if I had Cliffs of Dover money, all my batteries would be high-end. And I'd eat branded cereals cos I can.
Those are the most singularly pretty batteries I've ever seen, and want them, although have little use for 9Vs. Need to grow the pedal board.

Ehhh. Fuzz Faces (Especially old ones like he uses) actually work better with the shitty carbon batteries you can at a dollar store because they respond nice to being slightly under-charged. For almost anything else it REALLY doesn't matter.
