With its a light two-piece alder body with deep '57-style body contours and cavities, it differs from modern Strats with vintage hardware, a chunkier maple neck for increased sustain, a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish, specially voiced pickups unique to the Eric Johnson Strat, (they are even voiced differently on rosewood and maple fretboard versions to allow for the brighter sound of maple) and a '57 style parchment pickguard. All of which gives this guitar the look, feel and tone that match up to the very high standards of the man himself!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe development of the Stratocaster also saw the inclusion of single-coil alnico 3 pickups with staggered-height pole pieces that effectively addressed the varying output of the heavy string gauges in use at the time, and a slanting output jack mounted on the face of the guitar rather than the side. The guitar’s distinctively shaped headstock—more fully curvaceous than that of the Telecaster and Precision Bass—was undoubtedly influenced by instruments built by Paul Bigsby and, like the Telecaster and Precision Bass before it, had all the tuners within easy reach on one side. And a notably elegant touch in Fender’s first use of a sunburst finish, which was included at Randall’s insistence to give the guitar a more high-end look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stratocaster’s greatest innovation, however, was its bridge. In response to player feedback on the Telecaster, Randall wanted the new guitar to have some kind of vibrato system. Leo immersed himself in the task with his customary focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet the initial design for the Stratocaster’s vibrato bridge was a pronounced failure. Leo and guitarist\/advisor Bill Carson apparently thought prototype units sounded fine at the factory, but Leo’s right-hand man in the factory, George Fullerton, said they “sounded terrible.” Leo invested a great deal of time and money into trying to perfect the system well into 1953 before scrapping the entire design and starting over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBody Shape    Stratocaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBody Material    Alder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBody Colour    Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBody Finish    Nitrocellulose Lacquer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFretboard Material    Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFretboard Radius    12\" (305 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eScale Length    25.5\" (648 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eNo. of Frets    21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFretboard Inlays    Black Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePickup(s)    Specially Voiced Eric Johnson Single-Coils with Countersunk Mounting Screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eBridge    6-Saddle American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePickguard    1-Ply Parchment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eStrings    Fender® USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel (.010-.046 Gauges), PN 0730250406\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eTuning Machines    Vintage-Style Staggered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eHardware Finish    Nickel\/Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCase    Deluxe Blonde Hardshell with Black Ends (Black Interior)\u003cbr\u003e\n\t \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48899205759232,"sku":"F03-011-7702-806","price":13399.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/livemusic.com.my\/products\/fender-artist-eric-johnson-sss-stratocaster-guitar-maple-fretboard-with-deluxe-hardshell-case-black","provider":"Live Music Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
