The Eric Johnson guitar by Fender is a Stratocaster that arose from Johnson's express wish to give something back to the collectors, players and fans who've supported him throughout his career.
The Eric Johnson Stratocaster was designed by Johnson himself with his own personal features and preferences. This signature model Strat has a highly contoured two-piece alder body with a very thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck has a V-shaped profile, 12" fingerboard radius and 21 polished frets. The staggered vintage-style machine heads eliminate the need for a string tree, and the custom pickups are wound to Johnson's specs. Other features include a parchment '57-style pickguard, four-spring vintage tremolo, silver-painted block and '57-style string recess with no paint between the base plate and the block.
The Fender Stratocaster first appeared in 1954, and incorporated many design innovations based on feedback from professional musicians, Fender staff and Leo Fender himself. The Strat's third single-coil pickup offered more tonal possibilities than the two on the Tele, and its sleekly contoured body made it more comfortable. The double cutaway design of the Stratocaster made access to upper registers much easier.
The most important innovation on the Strat, however, was the addition of the new Fender vibrato (or "tremolo") bridge, an innovation originally intended to let guitarists bend strings, thus achieving the pedal steel-like effect so popular among country music artists of the day.
Nobody could have foreseen then how the Fender Stratocaster would go on to revolutionize popular music. Essentially unchanged since its 1954 debut, the Fender Strat is the most popular and influential electric guitar ever, and players at all levels and in all genres continue to rely on its sound, playability and versatility to this day.
