Great guitar

This is a very good guitar for the money. It sounds amazing and the tone boost is a plus. This guitar takes a 9v battery for the tone boost which alot of people overlook and remember to change it after a couple months or so, depending on how often you play. Action is very smooth. Only downside I see is no gold hardware but the original has none so no big deal. Holds tune amazingly well. Overall a great guitar. Buy one if your wife lets you. Ha!

Hands Down....

This is the best guitar that I have ever owned. I have the whole enchilada...Gibsons' PRS's, Martin's, and other Fender's. This is the most perfect axe imaginable. I have the Mercedes Blue model and the paint job is fabulous. The TBX boost gives me the punch to make it both a Les Paul vibe as well as the unmistakable Clapton tones. Run into the Digitech Crossroads pedal and you lose yourself in the tones. I wish that the case had been something a little more special than the stock G&G tweed one but that is a nitpicking thing, lol. This model is worth the money for the stick model or the Custom Shop one. I am glad that I got the Master Built Custon Shop one and, not only, have a special look but have the tone of a legend. Run through a Deluxe Reverb amp and you will never need anything else...ever.

I have had this guitar for 4 months now and I love it. I tried out 30 different strats at the music store I was at and there was no comparison. This guitar is amazing. The mid boost is perfect for getting distortion and volume during solos. GET THIS GUITAR!!!

Lace VS. Noiseless Pick-ups

I’ve owned my EC Strat since 1986. From the moment I tried it in the music store where I bought it, I knew it was an awesome guitar. I own almost every name brand guitar that’s out there from 2 Gibson Les Pauls, Gibson SG Doubleneck, Fender Telecaster, 2 Rics (one 12 and one JL model), Gretch Country Gentlemen, Hofner, Hamer, Ovation, Martin, 2 Guilds (one 12 and one 6 string) to mention a few. When I got the EC strat it came with the Fender Lace Pick-ups. I installed the new Noiseless Pick-ups and I couldn’t believe the difference. All I can say is “night and day”. NO MORE HUM, the humbuckers really do the job. The guitar has a much warmer sound, more body and fullness and that’s before you engage the power booster. Of all my guitars, this is my favorite to play live. It has the most controllable sound and it’s so user friendly. Buy this guitar, you won’t regret it.
