I need to know the guitar sound for Ted Turner, who plays rhythm on this track. All I know is that it is a Fender Stratocaster, with a bit of treble boost, distortion, and a whammy bar. The exact specs, like the amp, which treble booster and what the specs on the amp are would be very much appreciated.

Tone comes as much from your touch on the instrument as the equipment. The biggest thing I would make sure is that you use pretty light distortion, more of an overdrive than anything modern. I don't happen to hear a treble boost but I'm not great at that. There is slight vibrato on many of the chords which probably is very subtle bar use. I'm guessing it's a bridge single coil pickup, it's not monstrously clucky like Strats get.
Good luck. Record yourself and try to identify what's different in tone and then make adjustments.

Current Listening:
Heater valve kicking on. Snotty noses being blown. Griping. Maybe cookies coming out of the oven??? C is for cookie, and it is good enough for me. |

I know it's on the Mark Knopfler pickup, and the whole song is slightly trebled, so I'm not sure about a treble booster, but he definitely does not use vibrato, it's all small tinges of the whammy bar.

Vibrato means rapid alternation of a pitch around a center. It can be done with fingers, bar, grabbing hold of the headstock, and some effects add a kind of vibrato. And I'm not sure Mark Knopfler even had his own pickup when "Warrior" was recorded.

I'm not saying he had his own pickup, I'm saying Ted Turner is playing on what would become the Mark Knopfler signature pickup.
