Re: Has Anyone Actually Played an Eric Johnson Strat?
Well that's good,cause I've yet to see an EJ Lefty version? LOL :smack:
I'm sure my American Deluxe Strat(Avatar red strat) loaded with Antiquities would give that strat a run for it's money,and mine's lefty...
Besides that,my strat has abalone inlays and locking tuners....SO THERE! :dance:

Wus? LOL.....Who you callin wuss? Chump! :laugh2:
Well,if my fingers were anywhere near the length(And other things)I could play a righty guitar upside down...Problem is,I can't reach to the really high registers because the longer horn is in the way...I just pay the wonderful 20% upcharge and I move onward from there...
:wink:

Re: Has Anyone Actually Played an Eric Johnson Strat?
That was my complaint about Strats, and Fenders in general...I LOPVE big fat necks. I wanted a Strat and I fif not want a Jeff Beck Strat (which has a neck that feels a lot like an old LP). the JV Strat has a pretty hefty neck...it's a V shape but it's 1 11/16 at the nut, so it's good enough.

John,
I would say that your red strat plays and sounds just as good or better the the EJ model. It is no secret that EJ is trying to make some money with Fender since he is not selling a lot of CD's these days. :wink:

That's what sold me on the JV...looks and sounds just like a 57 reissue, has killer hardware (same as CS 57 ri) and a much more playible neck (9.5 radius and MJ frets) and a better wiring set-up IMO.

Sounds alot like my wonderful blue alder bodied Highway 1 mongrel strat that has an early 80's American Standard maple 12" radiused neck,vintage bridge, bone nut,and a Twangbanger/Surfer/Surfer and Fralin Blender pot circuit,and a very cool pearloid guard....This is currently my most comfy and favorite strat...And it was all put together with much love and patience by myself.... :wink:

I Know brother.It was you early on that convinced me that I also needed a pretty blue strat to play "The Blues" on...Blue and Red are my favorite colors,but blue is king! :burnout:
