Play classic country and classic R&R. Usually use a vintage Tele, but wanted a Strat to use on occasion. The EJ Strat has great tone variety for country and rock and roll. Has a lot of "bite" for country lead and sustains really well. Was good out of the box. DR tite fit 10's are a good addition. Is a very solid guitar!!! WWBW is a good place to buy!!!

This is a very nice, light and playable guitar which offers a unique tone because of the different pickups. According to Fender, they made 19 pups before Eric was satisfied, so you know that what you're getting took a lot of work to make. The neck feels like a Clapton Strat but changes profile around the 8th fret onwards. This is OK and normal Strat players should have no problems adapting. The finish is decent enough but I don't think it'll stand up to the rigors of heavy gigging - it's got a very fragile feel to it. I partnered the guitar with a Digitech Bad Monkey tube overdrive into a Marshall DSL401, turned down the guitar's volume and cranked up the amp and found some nice, blues tones are possible.

I I've been playing guitar for over 22 years now. I've always loved Strats, and they have always been in my collection since I got serious about music back in high school. I've played many of the models, ranging from the HM Series Strat (from the 80's); to some of the newer Fender Custom Shop 60's Closet Classics. I have to say that after I played this one, I realized that is was one of the best Stratocasters I've ever played on. Considering the decent price (not overly expensive), the tone, the playability, and its great looks...this is one of the best values in Fender Stratocasters I've ever seen or played on. I would love to own about 3 of these for my gigs, but one will have to suffice for now.
