Steve Rothery's primary instrument for Marillion's classic sound, the Strat delivers the glassy single-coil tone and dynamic range essential to his swelling passages and biting solos on albums like 'Misplaced Childhood.' Its responsive volume knob allows him to transition seamlessly from whisper-soft clean textures to cutting leads.
