Re: New Eric Johnson strats - with bound rosewood board
I always liked those bound neck 60's Strats...they are quite rare but look nice. Anyway, the STREET price is over $2500 and thats just too much for a non CS FEnder IMHO...

Re: New Eric Johnson strats - with bound rosewood board
Im betting they sound like the maple one but with a rosewood fingerboard and if life has thought me anything the difference will be very small but most guys on most forums will make it out to be a night and day difference.
The one thing I HATE about bound necks is the increased cost of a refret!

I must be watching too many old EJ videos ...... it seems like the necks are always all maple.

:laugh2:
That's cool that they finally came out with these. I saw a video on Musician's Friend of EJ demoing the prototype of this with his maple-boarded ones. I sounded about like you'd expect a rosewood-boarded strat to sound... fatter and not as edgy.

Re: New Eric Johnson strats - with bound rosewood board
I've been waiting for this one for a year, I think it looks SWEET and the EJ strat is one of the best out there. But $2500 OUCH! I was expecting a slight upcharge for the binding, maybe 2 grand tops. But $2500 is nuts for a non custom shop strat. Mad GAS though, holy...

Wow, a slight variation on a guitar already made, you wouldn't expect that from Fender at all *sarcasm*
When is Fender actually going to make something...........new?

Does it also have an angled headstock? Isn't it missing string trees?

The maple board EJ Strat has staggered-height tuners so that it doesn't need a string tree. I'm assuming that the new one is the same.
