I finally finished up my partscaster 1956 Stratocaster replica so I got around to doing a little demo!!! I used my Winnie Thomas Princeton Reverb clone, and my Clark Beaufort 5E3 type. I was recording at low volume so I used a Mythical Overdrive on the Princeton and a Origin FX Revival Drive on the Clark. Nothing heavy just enough to get a suitable tone.
Parts....
Fender Eric Johnson Body (lightweight Alder body, nitro)
Fender Classic 50's Neck (7.25 radius, med C/soft V, nitro)
EP Customs vintage style pickups
Eric Johnson Fender Tremolo system
Fender Pure Vintage Hardware and Plastics
Kluson MC6LN Tuners (made in Japan)
Eric Johnson Style Harness by SmokeyB
This is the first Stratocaster that I have set up with a floating tremolo, so it took me a while to learn the fine points of dialing one in.
I also had to address some fret sprout before I really wanted to play it! The Utah dryness sucks for guitar necks!!!
I've never been a Stratocaster kind of person, but the Jaguar that I recently built up got me to wondering about how the tremolos would compare.
