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 combined 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.
After testing many configurations, Eric and Fender decided on a lightweight capped alder body, with custom chambers and traditional contours. The thick, Soft V-shaped custom neck slightly smooths the sharpness of a V profile, rounding it out so it’s more comfortable for rhythm and lead playing. Fender's R&D engineers also worked closely with Johnson to craft the perfect single-coil pickups for his sound.
