My God!..I would sell a vital body part for that dream machine.
How's the neck? Is it kind of narrow?

1993 Custom Shop '54 Reissue. Just discovered the builder's signature on the back of the pick guard; Louis Salgado. He built a great instrument I've enjoyed since new.
Badass!

Just acquired this brand new 2016 Eric Johnson Rosewood model in Tropical Turquoise from the West LA Guitar Center on March 23rd. As is usually the case, they had it hanging way up on the top rack and I think I was the first person to play it. Fender told me it was made in April 2016, which tells me that it was hanging there for nearly a year. How is it? Really, really addictive. I've never really thought of myself as a Strat person, loving LPs and SGs and other Gibson goodies, but this one spoke to me. I was sitting there in their high-end amp room saying to myselfI can't leave here without this guitar. If I do, I'll be kicking mysel for years because as soon as I leave someone else is going to buy it."
The rosewood is really nice looking and the 12" radius a joy to play. Frets are medium jumbo, but they feel fairly tall, which is something I like. Pickups sound killer. I'm going to leave the bridge down on the body and play it as a hardtail. Right now, I have it with my tech at Westwood Music and he's giving it a good setup. I've decided to use Pyramid Nickel Classics 10 to 46 tuned to E-flat. I use the Pyramid 9-42s on all my Gibsons, so I want to have a similar feel, but am concerned that 9s will sound too anemic. It will serve as my only E-flat guitar. Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting it back and enjoying it!
