Re: Oh no... Gassing for an Eric Johnson Strat....
I have played a couple and thought they were both pretty nice... Aren't they around $1600 or so? I can't remember how much they wanted. I played one on a Saturday and was thinking of buying it Sunday, I went back it had sold late Sat or I might even own one now :yell:

Re: Oh no... Gassing for an Eric Johnson Strat....
I normally shy away from signature models, but that one is damn tempting, only because the features basically correct every problem I've ever had with vintage strats. The guitar itself is a tone monster, but I've never gotten along with the radius and frets, not to mention the slim V profile. The Eric Johnson strat is like a dream 57 strat, built to better specs. I want one, but I'm happy with my strats, so I'm going to wait till I can swipe a used one for cheap in a a year or 3.

I just wish they made the exact same guitar with a rosewood fretboard. I don't know why they didn't. Eric has never been a revolutionary, when it comes to gear. His changes to the 57 strat almost seem radical too me, knowing what a traditionalist he is.
I'm surprised he opted for a 12" radius fretboard.

Dunno about that, I have tried quite a few Customshop ones with Abigails singles....would defently not replace them with anything, they sound as good as anything else in that end of the scale.

Eric is pretty tone-anal and vintage oriented, so it makes sense that he'd go for basically a nicely made vintage strat with well selected woods and a few tweaks.
Now it'd be strange if Adrian Belew did a signature model and it was like Eric's...
