Of all of the artist models strats on the market the EJ model is really the only one that interests me. That being said I prefer the maple model.
 
As far as I'm concerned the Eric Johnson strat should just be called the American Standard model. The bound rosewood neck on this one is something that I'm not 100% sure on but its also something I'm just not used to seeing on a strat.
 
Yeah, I don't think the bound neck really adds much of anything to the look of the guitar. That said, if I had a spare $1500 sitting around, I'd rock it.

Exactly this, but there are aspects of the Clapton, Beck, and SRV models that I love. The EJ seems to amalgamate many of the best features of each. It's probably the only high-end Fender Strat I would consider buying, specifically the white blond maple boarded version. Dweezil played one when I saw ZPZ and it sounded amazing. Of course, I'm not Dweezil and don't have his rig, but I still liked it. I actually glad I've never been able to play one as I'm pretty that I would want one immediately.
 
Its pretty.
Would prefer a more trad steeper radius on a strat but 12" is not a deal breaker.
Not a bad price.
Would consider if strat shopping.
But its very unlikely I'll ever be strat shopping again.
I'm more of a tele guy when it comes to Fenders.

^This. The EJ pickups are my favorite stock Strat pickups.
I'd do one of the unbound maple's.
