Fender Eric Johnson Stratocaster in White Blonde (2014)

If you’re looking at this, you likely don’t need a hard sell. Some marks to the body, quite clearly checking, which is largely unavoidable with this thin nitro. The neck is clean, with no marks. Electronics are sound. Comes with original G&G hard case and tags as shown, which is in excellent condition. No discernible fret wear. Weighs 7.5lb. Action is currently around 1.5mm treble/2mm bass but will likely need adjusted to taste. Plays and sounds great.

These are very hard come by at the moment. It appears to be signed by EJ himself but that's not a selling feature, as I cannot verify this.

£1,100. I will consider trades if it is for something mainstream that I can likely move on easily OR a nice Precision bass.

Collect from CA7 3HH (Cumbria). Also happy to post.
