THE HOLY GRAIL

Posted by Guitarist At Large from Connecticut on Jul 22, 2009

Experience w/product: I own it

I have been playing guitar now for 35 years and this is the nicest guitar I have ever played. It is well worth the extensive price if you ask me, it is the smoothest guitar and it is just begging to be played. If you like Jeff Beck then you are going to love this guitar, plus it is signed by the man himself, how cool is that???

A Dream Strat But With A Trem Issue

Posted by Reesho from New York on May 14, 2009

I've owned the Jeff Beck Custom Shop Strat now a few months and have gigged extensively with it. I can attest to many of the other accolades here in this review section. But I have to admit to having a long and very hard time getting the axe to return to pitch after even the slightest trem use. Now this runs in the face of some other reviews here but nevertheless it's true. I tried what I thought was really everything possible to correct the problem before stumbling on an odd solution which has been working for me, and that is keeping the the two pivot points on the bridge at the two posts lubricated! You can use anything from oil to petroleum jelly but you've got to do it regularly. Why some of these JB strats seem to have bridge tuning issues while others don't is a mystery. Other than this issue the guitar is VERY sweet indeed. Maybe someday Fender will get their trem together once and for all!

I purchased my JB Custom Shop Strat about a year ago ago and have gigged with it extensively. This guitar rips! It produces a "thicker" more blended sound than any other Strat I have ever owned. I play it through a Dr. Z, Route 66 head with 2-12" alnico blue celestions and the tonal variation it produces is just phenomenal.

The noiseless pups are a club musicians dream - no annoying hum or buzz. The locking tuning heads make for fast string changing and a road warrior that stays in tune from set to set (even with moderate to heavy whammy bar exposure). And by the way, the whammy bar is extremely responsive.

The neck's contoured heel was not a factor when I bought this guitar but I have to admit that it does make it easier to reach those high screamers. And by the way, this guitar does scream!

I play everything from blues to classic rock to Texas Country and the JB Strat does it all in it's own beautifully distinctive way. I've been playing for 36 years and will not part with this guitar.

Perfect

the one I received was perfectly set up - I have had it 6 months now and still have not needed to take it to my local guitar guru - plays like butter, tone is immaculate - I use a Keeley "Compressor "and MI Audio "Crunch Box" through a Carr "Mercury" combo and the tone is massive, articulate and controlled.

Most comfortable strat I've ever owned.

I'd always thought about getting one of the older JB strats (the one with the lace sensors and really thick neck). But I was put of by the neck being too thick. This new version has a perfect neck, it feels immediately comfortable. I have to confess I didn't like the hot noiseless pickups, I felt they were too harsh so I changed them for Kinman blues with a kinman 85 in the bridge. It is now perfect. (I believe Jeff has different pickups in his also). The setup of this guitar was flawless out of the box. Acoustically it had a lively zing to it. Lovely guitar. It is expensive but I think it's a classic.
