Re: Fender Eric Johnson Strat

Nice review, Joe.

How sticky is the neck? Does it bother you while you are playing?

12" radius! daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. A fender strat ain't supposed to have that a flat fingerboard! I mean, then they're... dare I say it... playable? *shudders*

Fritz, it does bother me a bit during heavy bending sessions. The frets are med so there isn't a lot of room for the fingertip to clear the maple fretboard and it catches. It is not a deal breaker is just a picky point to critize an otherwise cool axe.

I think a slight rub of some steel wool will take care of it.
The other day there was a thread about sig axes and how silly the whole concept is.
To a great degree I agree with that take, but this is different (12" radius on a Strat?!) and a players guitar.

I agree, unless you've got a Chuckracer signature model, like I do. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Fender Eric Johnson Strat

That's my complaint! The neck is just drowned in lacquer. How can they justify that guitar price? Take Eric Johnson's name off and honeslty it's a $500. strat. It's following in the same vein as the SRV strat. Is that guitar anything like SRV's #1?
