Yep... They were discussing his 1965 strat and studio...but I was talking about his white 70's (large headstock strat)...This doesn't look like a 1965 strat

I had found a youtube clip with Norum discussing his 1986 Live tone and pickups (a pair of Hs-3's...I think)..I'll try to find and post it
It was probably a 1974 strat he still uses

The favourite Strata
Norum has a dozen electric guitars. The most valuable is the crème coloured Stratocaster from 1965 which he used on TFC. I bought it in 1984 for 8000 kronor. Our light-manager had it at home. I tried it and fell for it immediately. Its an early –65, it was made a couple of months before CBS took over Fender. Its worth something between 50- 60000 kronor today. The only modification I did was to put in
Di Marzio’s HS 3 mics in neck and lead position.
I had it on tour with Europe and on my first solo album, it’s the only guitar I use.
Below is part of a October 2000 interview in which he was asked about equipment:
"Which pickup's do you use and in which guitars (if custum made, which ones are the closest to the customs)?
JOHN NORUM:
On Final Countdown I used a rait pedal with a JCM 800 for rhythms + for solos I used Boss Distortion SD-1 + a a Super Boss Overdrive mixed together. On Total Control I used my 65 strat
with DiMarzio HS3 pickups + the Boss Overdrive OD-1 - the old one with 2 knobs, and the amp was 73 50-watt Marshall Stock which I still have & use sometimes.
Total control Boss OD-1 setting: Level on full and Drive on 9 o'clock. Final Countdown: I can't really remember but about half way on each level + distortion, not too much.
Michael Jessen: Which pickups/amps did you use back when you recorded Final Countdown and Total Control?
JOHN NORUM: Same as above about the amps. Final Countdown and Total Control pickups: DiMarzio HS 3 +
