Eric Johnson DID NOT use a Strat on his most famous song

Did you know that Eric Johnson used a Gibson ES-335 for the majority of the Cliffs of Dover recording session? From Guitar World Magazine: “This studio rig was relatively simple, mainly employing a Maestro EP-3 Echoplex, Paul C.’s/Chandler Tube Driver and a 100-watt Marshall half stack. Johnson used two different guitars in the studio while recording the song: an early-’60s Gibson ES-335 for most of the song and a 1954 Stratocaster used for 25 seconds of the intro (before the rhythm section joins in) and for the first 10 seconds of the solo starting around 2:45.“ Full article: Full video: #ericjohnson #cliffsofdoverguitar #guitarhero
