I'm honored that we're the first viewers of the finished product. I can already tell you from what I've seen so far, that it's a first-class production - I'm very proud to play a part in it I got the DVDs last night and watched Disc 2 twice already. Excellent work. I can't imagine a more comprehensive look at a particular guitar. Congratulations!

I’ve watched the entire DVD. I really do enjoy it. I think you’ve zeroed in on the proper story line that focuses on both the players and the guitar. Buddy Merrill, Al Jardine, Knopfler, they’re all great. I’ll be watching this again.

Hi Bob - the film arrived safely, I have just finished watching it, I think it is amazing, it is great to see the footage of Rory playing like he is in the film, such a nice man and a true Strat Master without a doubt,
You all did a great job with the film, I was really pleased to be included in it, Thank You. I thought everyone in it came across really well, I enjoyed the factory shots too, some good information from everyone also, keep up the great work.

Received the Strat Masters DVDs today. Watched most of the first disc - great production!. I'm really looking forward to viewing the second disc later today. I will highly recommend it to anyone I know who is interested in guitars.

Many thanks for the DVD it's excellent and I really enjoyed watching it over the last two evenings, particularly Rory Gallagher's contributions.
An enjoyable and well documented work, congratulations!

Thank you very much for the DVD. It's just great - well shot and very well documented. Also you got some living legends on film.The film is fabulous and I'm sure it will become a must have item for any guitar player.

You certainly don’t need to be a guitarist to enjoy this multi-facetted DVD. Information is presented in an entertaining and informative way through a skilful weaving of historical narrative, archive footage and absorbing interviews, together with fascinating glimpses into the making of ‘Strats’ at Fender’s factory at Corona in California.
Over the years I have watched numerous documentaries about the Fender Stratocaster and, put simply, Strat Masters is the best I have seen.

Finally got round to watching the whole dvd. Excellent stuff - interesting tales, and quite a lot of things that I didn't know. I've put a recommendation on The Shadows fans web sites - hope it helps.Cheers,

I just finished playing disk 2 . What a production.
Buddy Merrill's segment was outstanding and his music clips were quite a contrast to any other sounds . The interview was super. Congratulations on a first class informative production.

Yo he recibido un paquete que contenia "Strat masters" en formato dvd, yo debo decir que compre este dvd debido a la colaboracion de uno de mis idolos llamado Mark Knopfler, una cosa es evidente, el dvd es muy interesante,en su primera parte (I) es la historia de Fender y su evolución en California, el maestro de ceremonias Leo Fender y su influencia en importantes guitarristas de todos los estilos de la figura emergente de un chico llamado Buddy Hollie, yo destaco el cuidado de las imagenes y por encima de todo el proceso de construcción de las guitarras.
Respecto al segundo dvd (II) la musica va teniendo mayor protagonismo en la pantalla, frente al primer dvd que es mas documental,destaca el estilo "cuello de botella" (bottle neck style) del irlandés Chris Rea, como breves punteos (riffs) desde diferentes guitarras fender por parte del escocés Knopfler, desafortunadamente yo tengo unos dedos gordos y no soy "dedos de oro" como knopfler, destaca la imterpretación y el sonido de Gallagher y un mas que instructivo documental en referencia al pilar del sonido de las guitarras, además yo he comprado piezas desde "Seymour Duncan" en los EE.UU y me he sentido identificado en el proceso de hacer musica, simplemente una pequeña joya, divertido, sorprendente

Hi Bob,
Just to say that I've spent a very enjoyable afternoon viewing Strat Masters. Although obviously not the first and only Strat biography it is certainly, for me, the best. I like the way you allow the participants enough room to go into depth and detail on their topics, rather than the rapid jump-cuts from sound bite to sound bite that characterize some of the earlier documentaries. Also, the unique interviews with people like Don Randall and Sonny Curtis really add new dimensions to the tale. Congratulations on the excellent, painstaking editing ( for example, I love that momentary cut to a smile from Hank after an apologetic comment about him from Rory Gallagher) and the thoroughness of your research. Thanks for a great job
