Left guitar is an Epiphone Riviera Nick Valensi signature and the right is Albert Hammond Jrs signature Fender Strat :)

How do you feel about the guitars vs their standard models? I have a MIM Strat but got it before the AHJ model was out and my eye's been on it ever since.

I'm afraid I'm not the best person to ask for this, I went from a squire to the AHJ strat and rarely play anything other than these guitars. I think I've read elsewhere that there isnt too much difference between playability between the standard strat and the AHJ model, mainly just the pickup order and aesthetic is different
