    I'm not usually interested in signature guitars generally, but I am interested when that signature guitar can offer something that other guitars won't. A hollowbody Strat is an idea that I find really cool

      Same I'm getting a strat in a few months and I want a thinline body with the same design as my guitar but idk how to get it. Hollowbodies are good if you're with your guitar and don't have an amp

    Eric Johnson has been my go to for serious sounds since he was a kid. I first heard him play in 74 and was mesmerized. All these years later, I'm still floored at the tone and sound he creates with that Strat. He's truly one of a kind.

      I all honesty, Guitar Hero was great for the guitar community. It actually inspired many young people to start playing real guitar as well as introducing them to music that wasn’t in the current mainstream pop radio rotation.
      I bought my oldest son Guitar Hero 3 for his birthday when it first came out because he was an avid gamer. He didn’t ask for the game and my wife was mad at me for buying him the game even though I did get him exactly what he wanted too. He loved the game so much that he ended up asking for a real guitar for Christmas that year and he still plays guitar (better me I’ll add) and it also got both of his younger sisters into playing guitar. I think the game and my purchasing it did a great thing for my family.

    When Fender first announced this guitar, I knew I had to get one, so I called my dealer (Mark's Guitar Exchange--San Diego) and he got me the first one commercially available (Serial #41) on February 23, 2018, just three days after this posted. Is the guitar fantastic? I have never heard such tonal quality in any guitar, and I own a few. I try to give equal time to playing all my guitars, but I always end up spending more time on this. I am going down to San Diego today to pick up the 2018 Fender Custom Shop Eric Clapton Limited Edition Strat that I ordered when it was first announced, and also a 2017 Limited Edition Honduran Mahogany Telecaster ordered many, many months ago. I will be curious to see the differences. Back to the Eric Johnson Strat--if you want a fantastic guitar, do not hesitate for one second in buying this. You will not be disappointed. Cheers!
