Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster Thinline in Vintage White

GRAMMY-WINNING SOUND
Bringing to life the vision of one of the most respected guitarists in the world, the Eric Johnson Signature Stratocaster Thinline is the perfect marriage between a semi-hollow body and a traditional Stratocaster. Johnson is famous in guitar circles for questing for his ideal tone - liquid and articulate, it perfectly complements the playing style that earned his place in the modern guitar pantheon. In 2015 he approached Fender to co-design a lightweight, resonant instrument that combines the tones of his favorite semi-hollowbody guitars and his Stratocaster. Two years later, Fender hit the formula for tonal nirvana with the Eric Johnson Signature Stratocaster Thinline.

FEATURES

• Semi-hollow alder body and top; nitrocellulose lacquer finish

• Custom quartersawn "57 Soft V"-shaped one-piece maple neck; 12"-radius maple fingerboard; 21 medium-jumbo frets
  
• Vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge and staggered tuning machines
  
• Includes custom hardshell case
  

SEMI-HOLLOW 2-PIECE BODY:
We tested many configurations before Johnson settled on the lightweight capped alder body. With custom chambers and traditional Strat contours this guitar looks as good as it plays.

NITROCELLULOSE LACQUER FINISH:
The nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only lets the body breathe with its true tonal character, it also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way.

ERIC JOHNSON SINGLE-COIL PICKUPS:
Fender's R&D engineers worked closely with Johnson to craft the perfect pickups for his uniquely articulate sound. Carefully blending our legacy with EJ's discerning sonic tastes, these Stratocaster pickups are a key element of his tone.

CUSTOM ERIC JOHNSON NECK:
The thick "Soft V"-shaped neck slightly smooths the sharpness of a "V" profile, rounding it out so it's more comfortable for rhythm and lead playing.

STAGGERED VINTAGE-STYLE TUNING MACHINES:
Not only do these tuning machines have a cool vintage look, they also create optimal string break angle at the nut, removing the need for string trees.

NO REAR TREMOLO COVER:
Matching Johnson's own specs, his signature Stratocaster has no tremolo cavity cover on the back and no screw holes for one.
