Product information

This EJ Signature Strat in Tropical Turquoise is a masterclass in production Fender done right.

The Eric Johnson signature model is widely acknowledged to be one of the best, if not the best, production model Fender makes (meaning: for a non-Custom Shop guitar). We 100% agree. These are phenomenal guitars that offer a quality way beyond what the price tag would have you believe.

There are a few versions of the EJ Strat, this Tropical Turquoise finished beauty being one of the bound rosewood fingerboard versions. As a player, Eric is known for his...umm...exacting standards, shall we say? Fortunately for us mortal players, that same attention to detail was brought to the design of his signature Strat, and the results yield an incredibly resonant, easy to play, killer sounding guitar.

A quick scan of the specs reveals the tweaks Eric made: 12" radius, staggered tuners which negate the need for a string tree on the headstock, 1957-style body contours, a vintage-style tremolo with silver painted block, specially voiced EJ pickups, and 1957-style string recesses with no paint between the base plate and the block. While it might sound trivial to some, all of these tweaks and the attention to detail really add up. How? Tone, resonance, snappiness, liveliness, playability...simply put, it's a better mousetrap.

We have to tip our hat to Eric Johnson. Not only is he an amazing player, he's delivered fellow players a killer Strat at a very reasonable price. Nicely done. Priced with hardshell case.
