Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster - Eric Johnson Guitar
FenderŪ Eric Johnson Stratocaster Electric Guitar - Combining the best of vintage design with modern electronics technology, the Eric Johnson Stratocaster Electric Guitar is a beautiful guitar masterpiece based on a Fender '57. This guitar is the result of years of painstaking research and design from the discerning ear of one of the best players to ever pick up a guitar. Designed with Eric Johnson by Fender Custom Shop guru Michael Frank-Braun.
The '57-style, 2-piece alder body has an ultrathin, custom shop-quality nitrocellulose lacquer finish that results in better resonance. Johnson opted for a one-piece, quartersawn maple neck with a 12" radius that is finished with a thin-skinned glossy lacquer and vintage tint. 19 prototype pickups were created before Johnson found the exact tone he was looking for. The Custom Shop-modified single coils use a new wire material for the magnets. Johnson and Braun also included one of Eric's most famous Strat modifications by wiring the tone controls to the neck and bridge pickups, instead of the standard neck/middle tone configuration of most Strats. And it's pleasing to the eye as well, with its large arm contour, '57-style pickguard and shallow pickup cavities, plus thin headstock with vintage staggered tuners that eliminate the need for a string tree.
