  • ~ The Fender Stratocaster ~
    The Fender Stratocaster has long been a staple of the music industry. Legends alike have adorned the axe to bring the spank, the thwack, and the clarity that only a Strat can bring. Greg Koch has long been once of those fierce warriors, and is no stranger to the way of the Stratocaster.
    The Stratocaster is one of the most reliable guitars ever made? Reliable in regard to tuning? - not necessarily. But reliable in terms of a completely unique and identifiable sound? - absolutely. Strats have long been the go-to guitar for studio musicians and performing artists alike.
    Enjoy Wildwood friends - Greg Koch vs the Fender Stratocaster.

    Greg Koch has the best personality in the business and his skills with the guitar are even better, a true master with a guitar in his hands. I'd like to know if Greg is willing to adopt me. BTW, Wildwood, you are so blessed to have Greg do these video's and however much you are paying him is certainly not enough.

    I happened to come across this video because a friend of mine introduced me to Greg Koch last night when I spoke to him after his set asking him about his influences. He really wasn’t joking when he said he was good. He’d give Dan Aurbach a real good run for his money for sure. I’m beyond impressed.

    No offense to the stuff you're playing now Greg, but in my humble opinion you should only ever play stock Strats, Tele's, or Les Pauls. Glorious and the "new" stuff is close, but not enough. I have the Wildwood demos on continuous play in my office and your LP and Tele shootouts are epic.

    JD Simo fell apart against Greg but the pink Whitfill strat Greg was playing held up. What ya'll think of Whitfill guitars? I am a Navigator man myself for strats. To me they blow away everything except actual vintage. I have played 64' and 58' and to me the Navigator is so much closer to those than the new Fenders are. IDK they dry the woods or use better woods in Japan in the 80s' and 90's who knows.
