Hey all,
I was thinking of putting a v-neck on my 07 strat because it feels more comfortable to my large hands and then I realized I after a year of the two-point bridge system bothering me I hate it. So I decided to go to the music shop and test some strats. I played a brand new white Eric Johnson strat and really felt comfortable with this thing. It really is a beautiful guitar in it's simplicity. I hummed and hawed over it for an hour of trying to decide if I want to trade up or not. Then a couple hangers down was a virtually new looking used one in sunburst for a few hundred $$ less. I played it for a half hour, decided it needed heavier strings and it would be perfect. Gave it to the store clerk and put on hold. Just wondering what peoples thoughts on these guitars?
