Re: Joe with a 3 tone maple neck strat

I wonder what kind of strat that is- my first impression was that it was an Eric Johnson strat, but the EJ strat doesn't have a string tree for the high E and B strings... and the guitar Joe's playing there has one... I don't think it's a vintage strat because Joe is always saying how dumb it was/is to bring vintage guitars out on the road, plus the neck is almost a birds-eye maple type wood, also the body doesn't  have any dings on it as far as I can see (which most vintage guitars do, and if they don't, they're worth so much money that no one in their right mind would play one live...)

My thought now is that it's a re-issue of some sort... Anyone know for sure?

The model is Fender Custom Shop Custom Classic

the necks, are highly figured, either flamed or birdseye, I have had several of this model and still have a couple
below is a pick of one of my necks. These are awesome necks, finished almost like fine furniture.
The maple ones are high gloss on the top, and the back of the neck is almost unfinished, very slippery, not sticky

and below is a birdseye one I recently sold off
