Part of Fender’s "Stories Collection," this Eric Johnson ‘1954 Virginia’ Stratocaster pays tribute to the artist’s iconic and much-loved modded Strat. Originally pieced together by Johnson in the '70s, the original Virginia had a 2-piece ash body, a single humbucker at the bridge, and a style all its own. This faithful recreation keeps the spirit intact while refining the build for consistency and clarity.
The 2-tone sunburst finish lays beautifully over a chambered sassafras body—lightweight, resonant, and full of air. The quartersawn maple neck with vintage tint and a 12" radius maple fingerboard plays fast and smooth, all framed by custom Eric Johnson pickups and a vintage-style trem. From the EJ neck plate to the paper sleeve certificate, this one hits all the marks.
