Guitar style linked to players such as Johnny A.
The Johnny A. Signature Stratocaster is an amalgamation of Johnny's four favorite model years - 1963 through 1966 - and features a select two-piece alder body with off-center seam, paired with a 3A birdseye maple neck featuring a ’65-style “oval C” profile and contoured heel. The round-lam rosewood fingerboard has a comfortable 7.25” radius and 21 medium jumbo (6150) frets. The neck and middle pickups are hand-wound 11/56 models, while a steel bottom plate on the custom 11/56 bridge pickups delivers livelier tone with more wide-ranging response (think: Tele); all are fixed to a three-ply mint green pickguard, along with a five-way switch and Strat Blender wiring with Tone-Saver bleed circuitry.
This is a guitar that has a lot of heart and soul in it and you feel - and hear - it the second you sit down with it. And to be sure, this is an amazing sounding Stratocaster!
