Fender Artist Eric Johnson Thinline Stratocaster 2-Color Sunburst

A manifestation of iconic guitarist Eric Johnson’s uncompromising and unending quest for tone, the Fender Artist Eric Johnson Signature Stratocaster Thinline features a two-piece, semi-hollow body design not typically found on the Fender Stratocaster. This, along with the three Eric Johnson signature single-coil pickups, creates a unique hybrid of legendary sounds. Lightweight and resonant while remaining tight and articulate, the Fender Artist Eric Johnson Signature Stratocaster Thinline comes equipped with a custom, one-piece “’57 Soft V” quartersawn maple neck, vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge and staggered tuning machines.


About Fender Artist Series:

Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.

Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music’s most revered icons.
