Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster, Maple Fingerboard, White Blonde (0117702801)

Built to Eric Johnson’s own detailed specs – for players who chase pure Strat tone. The Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster (Maple, White Blonde, 0117702801) is the signature model of the Texas Strat virtuoso. It has a light two-piece alder body with deep 1957-style contours, a one-piece quartersawn maple neck with a ’57-style soft “V”, a flatter 12″ radius fingerboard and three specially voiced Eric Johnson single-coil pickups. Nitrocellulose lacquer lets the woods breathe and ages beautifully.
