Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster Maple Fretboard 2017 Two Tone Sunburst

Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster – 2017 – 2-Color Sunburst Few artist signature guitars have received the level of attention to detail found in the Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster. Developed over many years with one of the most respected guitarists and tone connoisseurs in the world, this model represents Eric Johnson's vision of the ultimate Stratocaster, combining vintage-inspired appointments with numerous refinements designed to maximise resonance, feel and tonal performance. Presented here in classic 2-Color Sunburst, this 2017 example is in excellent condition. It has clearly been very well cared for and displays only a few very light signs of use. There are no chips, cracks or significant dings to note. Our workshop has carried out a full inspection and professional setup, and the guitar is now playing beautifully with a comfortable action and excellent intonation throughout the fingerboard. Whether you are an Eric Johnson fan or simply searching for an exceptional Stratocaster, this model consistently ranks among the finest production Strats Fender has ever produced. Every aspect of the design has been carefully considered, from the lightweight alder body and quartersawn maple neck through to the specially voiced pickups and unique wiring configuration. Tonally, this guitar delivers everything players hope for from a premium Stratocaster and then some. The neck pickup produces warm, bell-like cleans with exceptional clarity and depth, while the middle position offers the unmistakable glassy Strat "quack" that works beautifully for blues, funk and pop. The bridge pickup is articulate and powerful without becoming harsh, delivering singing lead tones and outstanding note separation. Across all positions there is an impressive balance, dynamic sensitivity and harmonic complexity that makes this instrument equally at home in the studio or on stage.
