Stratocasters are all over the damn place and it takes some serious digging to find those who truly milk them for all they're worth. It may be premature for me to say but I feel like Robin Trower stands confidently among Stevie Ray Vaughan, Hendrix, and Ritchie Blackmore in terms of strat mastery.
I bought that when it first came out and Trower instantly became a Guitar God for me a mere 30 seconds into track one.

He's also the master of the univibe.

Speaking of 70s guitar gods, currently spinning this.
