On a stratocaster. I thought he was more Les Paul guy.

Yeah, as bad as things are now it does not seem like this is a move for the better of the sport. I guess this is the world we live in now, where things like sport are just a vehicle for those with money to make more money. It is not just MotoGP, many sports have fallen into the same trap. MotoGP is one of the holdouts, perhaps.

Eric Johnson was always pretty much a Fender Strat guy. I specify Fender because almost every guitar brand makes a guitar with a Strat body. Eric Johnson remained faithful to Fender in that domain. That does not mean he did not play Gibson. You can see him on a 335 for a first G3 show. Lately, he also used an SG. But his main known guitar was a Fender Stratocaster 1954, that he named Virginia. He sold it after a neck incident and repair. He was always very finicky about his tone and sound in his younger days.

Ah thanx.... I know I've had them like that a dozen times.. and I was looking for that picture. Working w greasy fingers and researching dosent go well ....and when I'm done wife don't want to see me on the phone after I've been in the garage for days... Thanks

He did some more, say, "palatable" music, such as "For the love of God", but his guitar style is really technical and grammatical, perfect and very square. If you simply compare Steve's music with Eric Johnson's "Cliff of Dover" with long intro, I mean, how can you not appreciate the sound prowess.

This performance was a week ago in Chicago? I recognize some of these "boys" . . .
