Lots of locrian mode.
One of the other guitar players is using a Strat, too. The 3rd guitarist is using what looks to be a Jazzmaster, but might be a Jaguar. I never got a good look at the pickups.
While Dick did his part for the Strat, I think the rise of it started with Buddy Holly 4 or 5 years earlier.
It took rock & roll, because the country guys weren't switching from their Teles.
