description

Any guitarist who marvels at the breathtaking sonic artistry and peerlessly pure tone of Texas Strat® virtuoso Eric Johnson will also marvel at the Eric Johnson Stratocaster guitar. Johnson is famously meticulous in crafting his tone, and every facet of the guitar is designed to Johnson's own detailed specs, from the specially voiced pickups to the extra-contoured neck and body to the distinctive tremolo assembly and much more. A refined signature model honoring one of modern music's finest Strat masters.


The Eric Johnson Stratocaster RW guitar is built from some of the finest wood materials available. The light 2-piece alder body is dressed in a very thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish; the quartersawn maple neck is paired with a rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius and 21 highly polished frets. Custom pickups wound to Eric's specifications are featured on the Eric Johnson Strat including staggered vintage-style machine heads (thus eliminating the need for a string tree), custom pickups with countersink screws and wound to Eric's specifications, and highly contoured body and neck.


The Pickups Eric Johnson Plays; Eric Johnson possesses some of the most awe-inducing clean and driven electric guitar tones out there. It's his ceaseless quest to perfect that sound that has led Fender to release his signature set of three single-coil pickups. Special care was taken to reproduce the exact output and sweet tone Johnson is after, utilizing a mix of Alnico 3 and Alnico 5 staggered magnets. And the Eric Johnson Strat Pickup Set boasts a hotter bridge pickup to ensure you enjoy a balanced signal across all the pickup switching positions.


The Eric Johnson Stratocaster RW comes with a parchment '57-style pickguard, a 5-way pickup switch, master volume, neck tone and bridge tone controls, a vintage tremolo with a silver painted block, and a '57-style string recess with no paint between base plate and the block.
