Spec Sheet & Modifications:

⁃ Pro Stainless Steel Jumbo Refret:

Professionally refitted by Aperio Guitar in June of 2021. Flawless work, super slick bends, zero fret wear, and completely maintenance-free for life ($500+ value in precision bench labor).

⁃ Callaham Vintage S Bridge Assembly:

Upgraded premium bridge featuring a cold-rolled, non-leaded US steel sustain block and precision-machined top plate. Delivers a massive boost in natural sustain, clarity, and tuning stability.

Tuned Pickup Set:

Neck: Fender 57/62 single-coil for classic, glassy vintage rhythm tones.

Middle: Original stock Eric Johnson Signature single-coil.

Bridge: DiMarzio HS-2, wired for top-coil single-use only (the exact mod EJ used on his legendary Virginia).

⁃ Emerson Custom 250k Strat Wiring:

Overhauled premium electronics with a dedicated treble bleed circuit to retain full top-end articulation when rolling back the volume pot.

⁃ Advanced Control Layout:

Position 4: Wired for an out-of-phase neck + middle combination for a distinct, hollowed-out vintage quack.

Tone 1: Dedicated to the neck pickup only.

Tone 2: Dedicated to the bridge pickup only (taming the classic stock Strat bridge harshness).

⁃ Hardware:

Upgraded high-grade TUSQ nut for enhanced resonance. A '60s-style string tree has been professionally added to the headstock for optimized break angle and string tension.

⁃ Condition & Cosmetic Wear:

Body Finish: Thin, vintage-accurate nitrocellulose lacquer showing natural player wear and honest aging.

⁃ Lacquer Wear:

A prominent, natural lacquer chip down to the bare wood along the lower edge/bout (fully documented in photos). Some light surface swirls and minor playing dings.

Structure: 100% structurally sound. No cracks, neck joint issues, or repairs.

Playability: The quarter-sawn maple neck is dead straight, and thanks to the flawless Aperio stainless refret, it plays incredibly fast with zero dead spots or buzzing.
