From Our Catalog
Fender is pleased to announce the long-awaited Eric Johnson Signature Model Stratocaster guitar. The brainchild of Johnson himself, this new model is designed with Eric's own personal features and preferences, and it is made possible because of his expressed desire to give something back to the collectors, players and, especially, the fans who have supported him throughout his career.
The Eric Johnson Signature Model Fender Stratocaster guitar is built from some of the finest materials available. The light 2-piece alder body is dressed in a very thin nitro cellulous lacquer finish, and the 1-piece quarter-sawn maple neck sports a 12 inch fingerboard radius, 21 highly polished frets, and a soft "V" neck profile.
Additional features include 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.
It comes with a parchment '57 style pickguard, 5-Way Switch, Master Volume, Neck Tone and Bridge Tone controls, and a Vintage Tremolo with 4 tremolo springs, silver painted block and '57 style string recess with no paint between base plate and the block.

"Best guitar i've played in 40 years..."
Feature:
Genuine Fender Hard Case with keys, Fender Mist and Wipe Finish Enhancer, Fender Strap,and Polish Cloth are included.
Quality:
This is a quality crafted precision musical instrument. It is well worth the $2,000 I spent to buy mine.
Value:
If this guitar was $3,500 I would still buy it.
Sound:
Every model of guitar has its own unique sound. A good guitarist can make an average guitar sound good. To create oustanding music you need a quality precision instrument. This guitar makes an average guitarist sound great and a good guitarist create perfection.
Ease of Use:
I have played the guitar for over 40 years and have found some guitar necks to be too thick with extremely wide frets making it difficult to reach 7 frets on some bar chords. This is not the case with the Eric Johson Model Strat'.
Overall:
I own 7 electric guitars and this guitar has become my favorite guitar in only one month. I own other guitars that are valued 3 times what I paid for this guitar. I am grateful the salesman asked me if I had tried this guitar. I wholeheartedly recommend this guitar.

"Two Thumbs up for sound and playability, plus Great value"
Feature:
It comes with a very nice case and even a retro guitar strap and cable (how cool).
Quality:
This is really a fine musical instrument so a pro setup is a must (at your local guitar shop). Mine came a little out of whack (the High E was off - meaning the neck was miss-aligned). But after the setup it was right on.... Also I expect this quality guitar to be worth more in 10 years from now so I'm treating it like a investment.
Value:
Seems like a much better value than a custom stratocaster costing much more.
Desirability:
Own it.
Sound:
First of all for the sound, is what it is.... meaning that if your looking for a clean sounding fender tweaked to Eric Johnson's sound then this is your machine... I do not have experience compared to other stratocaster's but it sound s awesome connected to my Egnater half stack. keep in mind no Metallica but half the other generation of rock like the stones to red hot chili peppers it's right on.
Ease of Use:
The neck is the best that I have played (compared to high end Gibson's and Jackson's). More rounded on the lower frets (makes hitting chords feel sweet) and flatter on the higher one - where you can pick up some more speed.
Support:
Have not used.
Overall:
I would recommend to anyone looking for this type of sound amn awesome playing machine
