Fender Stratocaster

If you are here you know what this guitar is.  It is a 2-Tone Vintage Sunburst  100% MADE IN USA FENDER Stratocaster.  This actual guitar belonged to a famous local Chicago Blues guitarist, Nicholas Barron.  I bought it from him here in Chicago.  It has been on stage and it plays perfectly.  There are a couple of nicks that I tried to capture in the pics and there are a few scratches from belt buckle on the plate in the back.  If you are looking for a prestine guitar that has no nicks look elsewhere. I'm not claiming that this guitar is perfect, but it is in great condition.  The paint on it is awesome.  The action is low with no buzz and the neck is very smooth. This guitar is stock and nothng has been changed on it.  In my opinion there is no USA Fender made today that is better than the Eric Johnson Model.  Go play one and see for yourself.

Model Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster

Intro The long awaited Eric Johnson Stratocaster was introduced in January of 2005, and has received accolades across the board ever since. Walk into your local music store, take one off the rack, and you’ll quickly see why. Simply put, the guitar is beautifully built, with all the vintage vibe and traditional Strat-appeal you could ask for.

With a deep-contoured, lightweight Alder body, single-piece quartersawn neck, a set of three “special design” Eric Johnson single-coil pickups, not to mention a host of other customizations, the EJ Strat feels and plays a lot more like a true Custom Shop guitar than a reasonably priced production model––but that’s exactly what it is.

The instrument was apparently designed by Custom Shop builder Michael Frank-Braun, in collaboration with Johnson himself, and the pedigree shows. For a production guitar, this thing has CS written all over it.

If you’re in the market for a truly high-quality Stratocaster with vintage styling and some modern amenities, you’ll definitely want to read on.
