There is no greater example of Eric Johnson's devotion to his art than his signature Stratocaster Rosewood model. With singular attention to detail, every facet of the guitar is designed to Johnson's own detailed specs, from the specially voiced pickups to the extra-contoured neck and body to the distinctive tremolo assembly and much more. Any guitarist who marvels at Johnson's breathtaking sonic artistry and peerlessly pure tone will also marvel at this especially refined model.

This guitar has never been previously owned, only utilized for in-store demos.  It's in excellent condition, comes with the original case & paperwork, and has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  Also, it's a great weight at 7.6 lbs.  In the end, it's just a great opportunity at a great deal!

The guitar features a two-piece alder body finished in nitrocellulose lacquer, and quartersawn maple neck with bound round-laminated 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard.  It also has a three-ply parchment pickguard, pickups voiced by Johnson himself, staggered vintage-style tuners, and custom tremolo block. Deluxe blonde hardshell case included. The Eric Johnson Strat is typically seen with a one-piece maple neck, but here we have the version with rosewood - so you get a 50's style body and neck sape, but a 60's style fretboard, and a modernized radius and fret choice.  It's the best of many world, resulting in a unique and fantastic guitar.
