Could have spelled it with a D but then it would have been Erid. What an absolute legend. Come to the UK man!!!

[burroughs]

Dude. This just made me love Eric Johnson all the more. Funny dude.

[OEMPlus]

I played his signature strat (which is why i'm here) and it is honestly one of the best strats (if not the absolute best) that I've ever touched. the neck is amazing, the pickups are amazing, it was the semihollow so it just rang out like a bell tower on a clear day. i want one SO bad.

'Hi I'm Eric, i spell my name E R I C, i could of spelled it with a K or i could of spelled it with a D, but if i'd spelled it with a D it'd be Erid'

Legend

Thank you eric.. for having the best song of my childhood:CLIFFS OF DOVER

[floppycheese]

probably one of the most underrated guitarists, quality music

[TheGreenKingdom]

Such a genuine, talented and humble guy. Also, the color on that blue Strat is beautiful!

[DaltonMullins]

I use to watch Eric play in a house that was turned into a club in Houston Texas in the early 70's He wouldn't start playing until about 1 in the morning in those days. As for his humor...he has always been a funny guy.

[theodosios]

I put his pickups in my 2007 Mexican Strat. OMG. They sound incredible.

[yobhsiFehT]

Ha! I love the random Little Richard quote (about Jimi) thrown in there.

Aaaaand riding off into the sunset on a lawn mower lol Good times.

[darrennwalters]

I've had two EJ Stratocasters and both absolutely blew me away. I had a sunburst 2005 that I should have kept honestly and the current one is a white blonde 2019 that is incredible. These guitars and these pickups are special.

[jackleyton]

Erid is such a great guy. as well as a great guitarist. I always enjoy listening to him talk or play. Keep going Eric. Love your Strats also. I have both solid and latest F-Hole and they both rock.

[jerrybattista]

Loved the Beverly Hillbillies music at the end. They played that often when Mr. Drysdale and Jane Hathaway were in the convertible driving to the Clampetts.

[bambino]

I love his sound on his strat. He plays so clean.

[jerrylee]

I love everything about "EJ" he is a true example of a true humble man✌ and what he contribute to "music".
He's my hero ever since🤘

[kyleriff]

I have a guitar that Michael built over 20 years ago! Wow what a blast from the past seeing this video. I haven’t seen him since I was a kid. My dad used to work with him when he worked for Godin guitars. Cool to see he’s working for fender now!!

[ktrnb]

Just ordered the black body, maple fingerboard one. So Exciting! I Loved the Lil Richard Quote about Jimi at the end, so cool.

[richardelson]

Love the Little Richard Hendrix quote 4:15. I have this guitar and a set in another guitar. Really great combo.

[allainangcao]

EJ is the probably one of the only few guitarists who you identify based on their sound alone.

[DChunk]

hes getting funnier as he gets older xD "im not afraid to look freaky"
