JerkMoansJerkMoans Frets: 8775
Hey you crazy cats!  In the midst of all the excitement generated by the Parallel Universe series and the Meteora, I kinda missed this one.

Ladies and djentlemen, I give you: The Fender Eric Johnson semi-hollow Strat...

What say you?

  • I was expecting something like a Roland G 707 or something, but this is much nicer.

    Also, this and this Fender Exotic Wood 2017 Limited Edition American Professional Mahogany Stratocaster Violin Burst are exciting to see.

    In that colour with maple board, the F hole really works, love it.

  • Well, each to their own and if you love it great!

    For me, the f hole needs to be a little bit bigger so I can be sick into it!

    For me, the f-hole can f-off.  Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

  • Yeah the f hole shape looks wrong on a strat - use the guitar shape /headstock /1950s curves as inspiration  - cat's eye would be less absurd.

    Not really my thing..
     so if you fancy a reissue of a guitar they never made in a colour they never used then it probably isn't too overpriced.

    Nothing new about strat semis is there?  There was one as part of that Pawn Shop series some years ago.  Didn't sell very well AFAIK.

    Really? Don’t recall ever seeing one before. Perhaps this is the old Pawn Shop Stock rebranded at £1k More a Pop :D

  • looks a bit anamic but I have no beef with the f cut, I like it
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Absolutely hate it. Thinline without the f-hole could be good, but strats never look good with a hole in them.

    That F-hole looks shit. Like sticking a wire spoked wheel on one corner of an F1 car.
