Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster

The recent addition to the Stratocaster signature line is the long-awaited Eric Johnson Stratocaster guitar. Designed by Johnson himself with his own personal features and preferences, this signature model has a highly contoured two-piece alder body with a very thin nitrocellulous lacquer finish. The guitar has a V-Shape profile and has a one-piece quarter-sawn maple neck with a  12” fingerboard radius and 21 polished frets. The staggered vintage-style machine heads eliminate the need for a string tree, and the custom pickups are wound to Johnson’s specs. Other features include a parchment ’57-style pickguard, four-spring vintage tremolo, silver-painted block and ’57-style string recess with no paint between the base plate and the block.

It comes in four colours with White Blonde, 2-Color Sunburst, Black and Candy Apple Red. There are 3 pickups in this guitar specially designed by Eric Johnson with Countersunk Mounting Screws (Neck/Middle/Bridge). It comes with a Deluxe Blonde Hardshell Case with Black Ends (Black Interior), Strap, Cable and an Ash Tray Bridge Cover. The cost of the Eric Johnson’s Stratocaster is around $2600 USD which seems pricey but can be considered normal in the Fender’s Signature segment.
