Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster, Maple Fretboard - White Blonde Review

Where do I start?

This guitar has action so low that playing it is like butter. I mean, put 10's on it and they feel lighter than 8's everywhere along the fretboard. The edges are rounded off so that it feels extra smooth. The fretboard is flat and long. It has a vintage finish neck, which feels smooth and creamy. You just don't find those anymore except on vintage or Custom Shop guitars. Neck is also compound radius so that bending, shredding and playing in any style is possible. it's great for jazz, rock, country, you name it. The neck alone is incredible.

The body... this has a nitrocellulose finish. Very thin and you can see and, more importantly, HEAR the high quality alder. It has an open back, like Hendrix and SRV did, to give a better resonance. A huge steel American block. A classic vibe with new features.

The pickups are kinda like 54's and kinda like '69's but with reverse mid, so the mid is usable. Tone controls on every pickup makes the bridge exciting. It's really a wonderful guitar in every respect. If you can't get a good tone and sound out of this guitar, then you need lessons.

Now, they aren't my favorite pickups. That's not a minus, that a personal preference. I had '65 custom shop's reverse engineered for me and those are my favorites. That's because I like that prime Hendrix tone. These are in that ball park on the bridge, but they're more along the woodstock Jimi tone.

This guitar never goes out of tune yet doesn't use trees. It feels solid. More solid than my '61 or even my Les Paul. It comes with a fantastic tweed case and smells like cotton candy (that's the nitro). Best finish you're gonna find. Strat's generally come with poly finish's and I've never played one with a neck this nice. You need to look to Lentz or something completely custom shop to find one this nice.

Now, maybe I got lucky because I've heard of people say they've played 2 or 3 EJ strat's before they found one they were in love with. I'm in love with mine. It's an amazing piece of gear which sounds incredible anywhere. In tube or solid state amps. It plays better than any of my other 25+ guitars.

The only change I would make to it, if I had the guts, is to put my 65 custom shop pickups in it with a reverse bridge ala Hendrix. Then, to me, it would be the perfect guitar.

However, in it's current state it's wonderful, wild with a huge tonal range. There's just no excuse for not playing well or sounding great on this guitar. It's absolutely amazing and easily the best Fender strat you'll find for less than $3000, and that's a conservative estimate.

Product Description

Elliott Smith has been a patron saint of the indie scene since his days helming Portland heroes Heatmiser. As a solo artist, Smith led a revolution of home four-trackers,from Beck to Cat Power, out of the bedroom and into the studio, where Smith's fondness for Beatlesque melody led to some of the most beautifully
orchestrated pop of the last decade. From A Basement On The Hill is Smith's final recording and finds Smith returning to an edgier, guitar-driven sound, alongside his trademark heart-rending balladry. From a Basement on the Hill was originally released on October 19, 2004 on ANTIRecords and is now proudly re-issued by Kill Rock Stars--now home of all of Elliott's indie releases.
Elliott had been working on the record at the time of his death. Elliott's family hired producer Rob Schanpf (Either/Or, XO, Figure 8) and Joanna Bolme to mix and produce the album.

From a Basement on the Hill [Vinyl] Review

There's obviously a certain amount of buzz surrounding this record. It's been a full four years since the release of Elliott's last studio album, Figure 8, and practically since that time, fans have been clamoring for the follow up. Rumors of Mr Smith releasing a defining work - the White Album of his time - began to surface. There were whispers of a double-disc release, an epic masterpiece unlike anything in his back catalouge. And of course the biggest bucket of gasoline on the fire was the artist's death under dubious circumstances 363 days before the album sees the light of day.

In the wake of that tragedy, Rob Schnapf - a former producer and collaborator of Elliott's who worked with him on the masterful Either/Or - and Joanna Bolme - another collaborator in a similar fashion, as well as an ex-girlfriend - worked together to piece the completed tracks into a posthumous release. The result stands as a 15 song, single-CD collection that isn't quite the godsend it was rumored to be, but certainly stands with the best work of a very talented songwriter.

Were one to listen to Smith's six albums in order, there's a certain entropic element in the musical progression (not to mention that each record gets progressively longer - this clocks in just shy of an hour - six minutes longer than Figure 8 and nearly twice as long as Smith's solo debut Roman Candle. But I digress). From A Basement on the Hill continues in that tradition, as is evident right from the bombastic opening of 'Coast to Coast.' A spooky string ensemble gives way to a distorted and percussive bombast, typical of the harder-edged songs on this album. In addition, the electric-sludge mix of 'Don't Go Down' and the epic 'Shooting Star' (Smith's longest studio recording that I know of at six minutes) assure that this is the most "rock" album in the singer/songwriter's catalouge.

While the bulk of the songs fall into a pleasant middle ground, these powerhouse, wall-of-sound tracks are balanced out by quieter throwbacks to the more acoustic-driven style of Elliott's Kill Rock Stars albums (the self-titled work and the aforementioned Either/Or). The most obvious of these is 'The Last Hour,' an underprodouced vocal harmony and acoustic guitar track. The somewhat more uptempo 'Let's Get Lost' and the somber 'Little One' are a bit slicker sounding, but would still be at home on earlier works.

There are elements of the adventurous nature of this record scattered about here and there. For example, both 'Coast to Coast' and the superb 'King's Crossing' contain found-vocal samples and the latter takes nearly two minutes for the vocal to kick in - a change from Smith's typically very direct style. And then, there's 'Ostrich & Chirping' - a hallucinatory intermission that sounds like something out of a 1940's Disney movie.

For the first time, full lyrics are not included in the liner notes for the album - quite probably because of Elliott's passing. Instead, actual handwritten lyric sheets (one on hotel stationery, another obviously crumpled up at one point and all contaning cross-outs and margin scribbles) appear for a handful of the songs. But the vocals are mixed very cleanly and Elliott's characteristic themes of loss, addiction, death and anger manage to shine through. It's difficult not to reflect on Elliott's death when listening to Basement, but viewing the album as a suicide note is very much unfair, given the time period during which most of the songs were written (largely 2000-2002, to my knowledge). However, tracks like 'A Fond Farewell' with lines like "A dying man in a living room / whose shadow paces the floor / who'll take you out any open door / this is not my life / it's just a fond farewell to a friend / who couldn't get things right" or 'A Passing Feeling' which laments "Though I'm beyond belief / in the help I require / just to exist at all / took a long time to stand / took an hour to fall" do take on a new poigniancy.

The standout tracks here are the aforementioned 'King's Crossing,' and 'Twilight' - an absolutely heartbreaking ballad midway through with a devastatingly beautiful instrumental verse that's just icing on the cake. The record's closer is also noteworthy. The awkwardly titled 'A Distorted Reality is Now a Necessity to Be Free' has been renovated from the quirky b-side that appeared in late 2003. It now stands as a guitar driven crescendo and an acerbic political statement that closes things on a definite high note.

There's some question, of course, as to how this version of the album would stand against what we might have seen had Elliott lived to oversee it's release. Unfortunately, it's one of those things we'll never have the answer to, but what we do have is a very fine album, to be sure. It's not as raw as Either/Or or as immediately accessable as XO, which are generally regarded to be his two finest works. But nor is it as fussy and relatively emotionless (relatively being the operative word there) as Figure 8. Instead, I'd go so far to say that, because of how it was finally created, Basement is probably the most peculiar balance of a raw unpolished messiness and carefully constructed melody, and it's certainly the biggest "grower" (that is to say that it takes a little time to really appreciate) in Elliott's catalouge. The only taint on this worthy addition to the canon, is that it is the final work, yet it seems to sit right on the edge of something incredibly profound, and just as elusive. Though maybe that, in and of itself, is a testament to a great man's genius.

Gator GR-RACKBAG-3U Lightweight Rack Bag Review

I love this bag. It's just big enough for my Axe-Fx 2 (barely!).

Gator seems to have improved 3 things that I think give it 5 stars:
1) nylon is thicker and tougher
2) Zippers are thicker and sturdier
3) Handle is much more padded than before, yet still very durable

I'll have this for a long time.
