Just like he redefines the electric guitar every day, Eric Johnson and Fender redefine, and redesign, the celebrated Stratocaster. Adding special contouring to the neck and body, this Strat features a lightweight, two-piece alder body with a deep 1957-style shape, a vintage-tinted, one-piece quartersawn maple neck with a 1957-style "Soft V" profile and 12"-radius, round-laminated rosewood fingerboard and 21 medium jumbo frets. Three specially-voiced Eric Johnson single-coil pickups with counter-sunk screws run through advanced five-way switching and a very special vintage-style tremolo setup features silver-painted block, '57-style string recess and five springs. A true tone machine, down to the last screw.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender's Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world's first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world's leading guitar manufacturer.
Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music's most revered icons.
