    Fender Am. Std Strat & Raw Vintage

    I definitely have the right ones (RVS-112) I just put a micrometer on them. The stock EJ saddles mic at .43 wide and the RW saddles as noted in their documentation mic at .441. Cumulatively over six saddles it's enough to make the E to E spread wider than stock. I have a Callaham block coming...

    Possible new blood....Heritage Guitar Forum Exiles

    I was a charter member of the HOC. Sad to see it is gone but these things run their course. I've been a member here since 2009. Not sure why I have not posted more...need to fix that.

    Here's a guitar you either love or hate....

    Not much middle ground with Parkers. I love 'em. Don't need multiples but love to have one around for the versatility and light weight when my shoulders need a break. Sold my 335 Fat Neck in April and decided it was time to have another Fly. Found this one owner, dead mint '99 with both cases...

    Fender Am. Std Strat & Raw Vintage

    I think they are beautifully made and sound great but there is an issue on my EJ strat. The high E is kicked offline. Maybe they are slightly wider...not sure but I may put the stock saddles back on. I do like the feel of the springs for sure.

    G&l S-500

    I've not played an S-500 but I have a Legacy which just a killer guitar. As I understand it the Ceramic pickups in the S-500 are hotter, and handle high gain better while the Alnico 5's in the Legacy are very vintage sounding. I would agree with the latter as the only thing I wish the Legacy had...

    One axe to rule them all and in the dorkness bind them

    Out of the gillion strats I've had including Custom shop I am happiest for dollar spent with the Eric Johnson strat. 12" radius on a nice sized neck makes for great playability. I have been trying to figure out how to get one of the newer rosewood models with a bound fretboard. If I was...

    Eric Johnson strat

    They really do have a nice list of features that you can't get anywhere else short of custom shop, for instance. Quarter sawn neck, special thinnner headstock for more down angle, nice beefy soft V to C neck profiles, staggered vintage style tuners, vintage contoured body with weight...

    Eric Johnson strat

    These are such nice guitars. This is the third and best one of these I've had. Nice weight, classic tones with a little more modern vibe and a very straight quartersawn neck. The only change I'm making is changing the bridge pickup to a Dimarzio Virtual Vintage Solo for a little more gain.

    Parkers Guitars love them or hate them?

    I've had several and this is the best one. An '02 Custom shop Classic Hardtail with factory Duncans. Killer guitar.

Parker Fly hardtail or EJ strat for everything else. Fretless J for bass gigs. Howdy, looks like a nice place. Looking...
