This one has a really nice, flamed maple neck... Weighs in at 7lbs 8oz. Has one small ding by the upper horn strap button (pictured), otherwise perfect. Very few musical artists are ever able to achieve a true signature style - a sometimes-undefinable sound which makes comparisons to other musicians impossible. But Texas guitarist Eric Johnson comes as close as any musician from the past quarter-century. Eric is also known for his perfectionism and dedicated search for an "ultimate" guitar. Now FENDER® has released the long-awaited Eric Johnson Signature Model Stratocaster® guitar. The brainchild of Johnson himself, this new model is designed with Eric's own personal features and preferences, and it is made possible because of his expressed desire to give something back to the collectors, players and, especially, the fans who have supported him throughout his career.

You could easily make the case that Fender electric guitars were responsible - at least in great part - for the birth of modern rock 'n' roll. Originally designed to be easier to build, and thus more affordable, Leo Fender's masterpieces, which include classics like the Stratocaster (is there a more distinctive guitar shape in the world?), the Telecaster® and the original Precision Bass®, were at the core of a musical revolution that spawned everything from surf to country to punk! In the 1960s, when Fender guitars first hit bandstands and stages all around the country, it was astonishing to see that trademark Fender maple neck and fingerboard. Though the company eventually offered rosewood fingerboards as standard or optional on its entire line of instruments, those first"blond" necks really shook things up. Others have picked up on the maple neck theme, but it's clearly yet another of Leo Fender's "firsts." Today, no other manufacturer can match Fender for the sheer number of options available throughout its entire line. While vintage Fenders can command astronomic prices, the company now has the widest range of quality instruments in the world, along with the highest profile players like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, all of whom are legendary.

I will be listing quite a few in the next few weeks, so please check my other auctions...
I buy, sell and trade from dealers and guitar friends all over the world, so I get these at a great price, and pass the savings on to you.  (Mostly do this fund my own crazy guitar addiction).  I am not a dealer, just a huge guitar fanatic.

I will ship to anywhere in the world.  Paypal users must have a confirmed and verified address (and I will only ship to this address)... I ship UPS for USA and Canada shipping,  Ups for international shipping.
Shipping will generally run about $200 for worldwide, but please contact me first for an exact shipping quote if you are buying from another country... Also, you the buyer are responsible for any taxes your country charges you on the shipment. They can be high, sometimes up to 30% or more depending on your country.  Please email first with any questions pertaining to customs fees, and I will do my best to answer them for you, I ship overseas all the time, and have become pretty good at it ; ) .  Due to the overwhelming number of recent returns (for no real reason), I will no longer accept returns unless the item is not as described.  All my guitars are mint in the box, unless otherwise noted. I can no longer accept returns for reasons such as "the neck is too thick for my small hands", or "My dog just died and I have to pay for a funeral for him".  You would not believe the crazy excuses I get, not because the guitar is not exactly as described, but just because the buyer changed their minds. I am sorry to have to do this, but it is very time consuming, and gets pretty expensive in fees.Thank you for your understanding.

Please ask any and all questions, you will love this beauty, and please check my other auctions for some more amazing and rare guitars.
