If price isn't a factor I'd recommend the Eric Johnson strat or the Custom Shop Eric Clapton strat. Both are amazing stratocasters.

agreed.... if there is no price factor, the EJ strat and custom shop models are the way to go

EC strat is really fine but the neck seemed overly "delicate" to me. If you have a bigger hand (I'm 6'4"), I'll bet you'd like the Eric Johnson strat better... 12" radius too that I think aids in higher velocity playing.

As earlier poster said though, both are amazing strats!

I'm stoked on my CS Strat Pro. It sounds killer and the neck is butter. I also totally agree that CS Eric Clapton strat is a gem. The Eric Johnson neck is nice and fast.
