Date: October 18th, 2025 6:34 PM Author: cumstein There’s an ongoing debate about whether or not Rudolf Schenker of Scorpions used a Fender Stratocaster on this track:

The controversy stems from the fact that the guitar Schenker is most closely associated with is the Gibson Flying V, and he’s never been known to play a Strat, but the arpeggiated rhythm and hammer-ons played throughout the verses sounds exactly like a Strat. Apparently no official record exists.
I’m firmly in the Strat camp. I know the sound of a Strat when I hear one, and that’s a Strat. |

Not a Flying V or any Gibson though, no way. |

Date: October 18th, 2025 7:08 PM Author: cumstein the entire track sounds exactly like a Strat but the way it screeches at 0:58 is a classic giveaway that it’s a Strat. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787574&forum_id=2/en-en/#49358467) |

Date: October 18th, 2025 6:58 PM Author: Wes Scantlin It’s definitely a single coil neck position, at least at the beginning. The arpeggio near the end sounds a little more like a mix of neck and middle, but definitely not a humbucker. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787574&forum_id=2/en-en/#49358454) |

Date: October 18th, 2025 7:08 PM Author: scholarship With the right pickups a flying v will sound exactly like a strat and vice versa. You could even use different picks and get drastically different sounds. Not much else comes close to making a difference imo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787574&forum_id=2/en-en/#49358466) |

Date: October 18th, 2025 7:22 PM Author: cumstein Fair but it’s definitely a single coil pickup and not a humbucker. Try to find a pic of him playing a Flying V with a single coil. You won’t. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5787574&forum_id=2/en-en/#49358487) |
