fender eric Johnson – How Is it Unique ?

By R. S. Rasnick

Stories about Eric Johnson's ear for details are legendary. Since Johnson prefers a 1957 Fender Stratocaster as his main guitar, the company used that as the basis for the Eric Johnson Stratocaster, where the talented Mr. Johnson would have ultimate say on everything from the screws to the pickguard.

The Fender team (with Johnson's input) previewed nineteen kinds of pickups before settling on the final model. Traditionally, Stratocaster wiring has the tone control affecting only the neck and middle pickups. Johnson's taste is to have the tone wired to affect the neck and bridge pickups, so his signature guitar reflects that preference.

While it has a vintage vibe, the Eric Johnson Stratocaster is well-suited for a wide variety of genres.

The Eric Johnson Stratocaster is an unbeatable instrument at an attainable price. Well done, Fender!
