Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been playing guitar for the past 37 years. Lots of electric for the first 10 and then recently (6 years ago) picked up the electric again. Since then I've gone through a Ibanez Musician, Fender American Deluxe Ash Strat, Gibson ES-339, Gibson ES-335, and finally this Eric Johnson Strat. I had the hardest time with my previous strat (wouldn't stay in tune, bad intonation, don't even think about touching the whammy bar or its way out of tune), and the Gibson's were just uncomfortable to play (after you cradle a strat with it's light weight and contour fit it is really hard to go back). I cannot put this guitar down. It stays in tune for months (I kid you not) and I play the crap out of it. I love the way you can dig into a strat or not (you hit it hard it's nasty, play it soft and its clean). The tone knobs affect the neck pickup and the bridge pickup (a much better use then the typical middle pickup tone knob on the typical strat). The volume is useable from position 1 to 10. The quartsawn neck just sustains for days. I can play this acoustically and hear the wonderful sustain. The pickups are nicely wound also to provide lots of sustain and a wide range of tones. The intonation is the best I have ever had. This is a jewel of a guitar. The nitro finish will age nicely too like the strats of old. This is basically a modified '57. The staggered tuners are a plus too (eliminates the string tree). These guitars are as good as most custom shop guitars at 3 times the price. Check these out if you get a chance.
