Bringing to life the vision of one of the world's most respected guitarists, the Eric Johnson Thinline Signature Stratocaster is the perfect marriage of a semi-hollow body and a traditional Stratocaster. Designed jointly by Eric Johnson and Fender, this lightweight, resonant instrument combines the tones of his favorite semi-hollow body guitars and his Stratocaster.
The custom hollow chamber body is coated with a nitrocellulose varnish which allows the wood to “breathe” with character. The three single-coil Stratocaster pickups have been specially designed to meet Johnson's specifications and are mounted to the two-piece semi-hollow alder body with countersunk screws for even greater vibration transfer. The comfortable "'57 Soft V" quarter-sawn maple neck features a 12" radius maple fingerboard and 21 medium jumbo frets for enhanced playability.
Other custom features include a vintage-style tremolo with silver-painted block, 57-style string recesses, slim headstock with vintage-style staggered tuners, 57-style parchment pickguard, and bridge cover. ashtray".
A tour de force of R&D, Eric Johnson's Thinline Stratocaster is the first semi-hollow Strat that combines custom chambers with traditional Stratocaster tonearms and body contours.
