Six strings
 
It's curious--only because I bought my first electric guitar a few weeks ago am I struck by the significance of a story like the fiftieth anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster.
 
I was excited to learn from that article that Eric Clapton had Strats named Blackie and Brownie, and you may be curious to know that I have given a name to my Fender Telecaster, a name Ereck suggested: Voula. Voula is a character featured on an early episode of "Degrassi Junior High."
