Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster Mn 2-Color Sunburst

A Signature Stratocaster Designed Like a Luthier's Instrument

This Eric Johnson Stratocaster Maple belongs to the line of high-end Strats focused on "detail and purity," with a very targeted approach: a traditional base optimized on key points (profile, setup, hardware, assembly) to achieve a more immediate response, controlled sustain, and a particularly consistent playing feel. The choice of nitrocellulose and vintage-inspired elements enhances the organic character, while the neck specifications aim for virtuoso playability.

Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to expert guitarists seeking an inspiring, precise, and expressive Stratocaster. It excels in blues, rock, fusion, pop, and all styles where articulation, right-hand dynamics, and volume nuances matter. The 12" / 305 mm radius and Medium Jumbo frets favor fluid solos, clean bends, and fast playing without any "catching" sensation.

Sound

The alder body delivers the typical Strat balance: present mids, clear highs, and a dynamic response ideal for detailed clean tones as well as expressive crunch. The maple fingerboard enhances attack and clarity, with a natural brightness much appreciated for alternate picking and arpeggios. On the electronics side, the SSS configuration (three special-voiced Eric Johnson Single-Coils) retains the expected snap and definition, with a 5-position selector to switch from a sharp bridge pickup to scooped intermediate positions, then to a rounder neck pickup. The American Vintage synchronized tremolo with 6 saddles and its 5 springs contribute to stability and a "vintage" feel, while maintaining the sensitivity needed for subtle vibratos.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original specifications, a set of strings with a .010-.046 gauge is the most coherent choice (the guitar ships with .010-.046). A selection of picks and a microfiber cloth are also essentials to preserve the nitro finish daily.
