Wiring a tone control to the bridge pickup is about the best and simplest mod you can do to a Strat. Much more toneful. :)

Just bought one... Same colour. Picking it up in a couple of days. Seriously cannot wait. I'm as excited as a kid at Christmas.... Except I'm 58.. and should know better.... Hahaha

thanks for great review. Appreciate hearing the clean sound as so many reviews forget to let us hear the guitar! Very musical playing.

[fruitcakedrifter]

Wow...Awesome guitarist beautifully....real artist here folks!

[Reversibleband]

This video convinced me to buy this guitar. It sounds and feels better than any other Strat I’ve played.

That (EJ) and the Jef Beck stratocasters are the best guitars Fender has made in a while, but especially the EJ. WOW what tone and the more you bang on those pickups, the more they give you

Seems a lot of critics on this guitar but from my perspective the quality and versatility of tones you can get from one of these is great for the money. I bought one when they came out and had it plecked and set up to my specifications by Joe Glaser here in Nashville. I think the key to get any strats or any guitars for that matter is an expert set up in order to get the most out of your time on the instrument. Noobs to pros key to success is is expert set up on the instrument no matter what you pay for it. These things need love. The easier it is to play and express your music the more it frees the mind and get more out of the craft in my humble opinion. I’m super super happy with mine. Nice playing and honest review thanks for sharing. ✌️

Love your playing! I've got the maple neck version. One of the best, if not the best Fender Strat in the Standard Artist Series. It's playing in the custom shop aerea.

I have a mystery for you – purchased a 2016 Eric Johnson
Rosewood Strat in Lucerne Aqua Firemist color. It’s one of the ones with the
binding on the sides of the fretboard. This is the 3rd EJ that I’ve
owned, so I am relatively familiar with the ins and outs of it. Funny thing…I noticed
that the tips of the magnet poles in the pickups were actually beveled, so did
a quick comparison to my others. Turns out, the other EJ pickups that I have
are flat, non-beveled at the magnet ends. My next step was to look under the
hood. On the one in question, all 3 have the rectangular ‘Fender Custom Shop’
decal on them, with the bluish markings on the underneath side of the pole
pieces.

Everything about these scream Fender Fat ’60 pickups like
what can be found on the Fender Postmodern Custom Strats from around 2015 (not
the EJs that have specific markings on the bottoms). My luthier says that all
the solder points were straight up Fender factory solder points and that this
guitar did indeed come from the factory this way.

Have you ever seen anything like this? I wonder whether this
was just a mistake at the factory. I am the second owner, but the first owner
did not swap out the pickups. It sounds fantastic.

5:34 tone reminds me Wayne Krants tone. Awesome demo as always Mr Lucas

[RandomGuitarist]

I'm such a sucker for neck binding. That looks and sounds brilliant :D

[robertscorpio]

Nice Demo - really shows the transparency AND the fuller bottom end on clean tones compared to most Strats .

[groovemonkey]

Fine playing and full of toneful tone!

[mallrat]

looks pretty cool with the rosewood fingerboard

[adrianmcphee]

This video is next level with auto generated closed captions... including the guitar saying "oh" and "me"

Gorgeous sounding guitar!! Love Marks Playing. After hearing the EJ with a maple neck demo and this one, I must conclude that the rosewood model is a little more desirable. both sound great but I think the slightly smoother character of the rosewood will work better for me.

God Bless Mark Lucas... when he plays u can hear angels

[m_r__r_o_b_o_t]

Aw man... I miss Mark and his phenomenal playing

[LoganKramerMusic]

A lot of the times I watch these vids, it's just to hear Mark play.

Scratch that, all the time

[otborgen]

Wish more players could do a review like Mark Lucas, the way he presenting the instrument, describes, let you hear the notes ring.
