62 Vintage Strat, Eric Johnson Owned - For Sale

62 EJ Stratocaster Available-- AGAIN!

Lot's of official documents included too!

1/30/12 Note: This guitar was originally sold in Sept, 2010 by the same seller. We inquired about this, and confirmed the guitar is available once again.

Minnesota based vintage Strat maven merchant extreme Ed Matthews aka "Eddie Vegas" just listed yet another vintage Strat of Eric Johnson lineage. I think this is the 4th one I've seen in as many years...

But if there's any doubt, just know that Ed's eBay feedback is 100%, with a 3K plus score. And he always has plenty of serious vintage Fender inventory.

This '62, formerly owned by Eric Johnson (due diligence!) has been featured frequently throughout EJ's career, and dissected by Fender seeking secrets from the old mystics of the non-filter ciggy era. Anyway, Ed's price is $90K, and he doesn't care if he has to sit on it past the Mayan calendar expiration. He also doesn't want any calls from "tire kickers". I spoke to Ed one time-- ya gotta get those questions asked QUICK, before he starts rollin'!

But if you got that kinda ephedra laced guitar collector cash reserve, this one could be a real trophy wife. The last one you'll ever need. You could ride around town with her in your Batmobile!

Guitarville By Vegas -eBay Store - Important note: DO NOT click on this link unless you intend to make a purchase! If you're NOT really gonna buy the $99,000.00 Stratocaster, then at least pick up some strings, picks, a Jack LaLanne juicer machine or a nice chrome piggy bank with marital aids stuck all over its body. eBay pays me a pay-per-click rate based upon visitor quality. So like Ed said, "No Tire Kickers!"

"YES, THE DOOR'S LOCKED!"

And yes, who else but Ed at Guitarville By Vegas would be listing these right now? He'll sell 'em separate, but it's implied they may have been acquired together from one source-- just my assumption. An attractive and happy family nonetheless, that should be kept together.

So anyone with the wherewithal $$$ should jump on these, otherwise someone like Mitt Romney is liable to pick 'em up for his man cave display. 

All rosewood boards, you're looking at:  

'65 candy apple red
'63 Dakota red - mahogany body
'62 fiesta red
'62 Lake Placid blue

In spite of the photo, I'm sure ya get more than one case with this set!;)) Ed's also currently listing a vintage '62, formerly owed by Eric Johnson. He's moved a few of EJ's personal arsenal over the years. Check the link above for all the details, and plenty more serious vintage guitar porn!

Friday Strat BEST OF - Fender Japan Zebrawood

Originally Featured Nov. '08 - Friday Strat #103

From the archives of www.guitarsjapan.com, you're looking at a Fender Japan 2002 RI of 1968's very limited Zebrawood Strat run. Love the bound body, front and back! And is that a Jazzmaster neck?

You'd have to accessorize your wardrobe to play this one. I'd recommend a tan suede jacket with the long fringes, Saigon mirror shades, straw cowboy hat and Neil Young sideburns. Include a cream tolex Dual Showman with a bottle of Wild Turkey sitting on top, and you're there.

Nash S-57 Louisiana Roadhouse Boat Neck

 NEW... Well, You Know 

 So how many re-frets would a vintage have at this point?

Whatchu gonna did wit dat neck Boudreaux? I GUARANTEE!

 
This is one of the nastiest Nash relic guitars I've seen, since those nitro fire survivors Bill did a few years back. The S-57 Louisiana Roadhouse looks like a flood recovery that survived cuz it was dipped in the fry-o-lator just before the levee, it bust open. Yeah, the case candy should include an order of fried okra!

The ash body, 3-tone nitro finish is loaded with custom Lollars. Neck is a boat, soft "V", meaning it's super fat. And what will this guitar look like in 50 years? Maybe gator tail jerky. But imagine how it will sound!

Seller: Nick's Guitar Emporium aka Bend Guitar Den, Oregon based dealer with good feedback & lots of hi-end listings.

LSL Saticoy Strat-type - "KENDRA"

 Serious Guitar!

Meet Kendra, a 6.8 lb swamp ash dream in vintage cream. That's what they call this finish which resembles Fender's trans-blonde Mary Kaye and EJ models. It's nitro as well.  SoCal based LSL Instruments gives each guitar build a female name, hence "Kendra".

Bodies, necks and even pickguards are handmade and shaped by LSL, who also wind their own pickups. The S-type model name is "Saticoy", Tele profile is the "T-bone" and they make a Carl Verheyen signature S-type called the "CV Special". Top players are raving about LSL guitars which price point very reasonably at the low side of Fender CS pricing, and a fraction of a DeTemple or D'Pergo. Verheyen's endorsement says it all.

Kendra comes with a 7.25" radius, 21 fret "C", sportin' 6105 frets. The hardware is aged. A G&G case is included.

Seller: ANDY'S GUITARS ETC - Based in Tallahassee, FL. Top-rated with high feedback & tons of hi-end gear listings.
