NAMM 2020: One of the NAMM show's biggest gear announcements thus far has unquestionably been Fender's unveiling of three immaculate signature electric guitars, among them the Eric Johnson ‘Virginia’ Stratocaster.
A recreation of Johnson's 1954 ‘Virginia’ Stratocaster - which appears on his iconic Ah Via Musicom album - the guitar features a rare rift/quartersawn sassafras body, lacquer finish, custom wiring and much more.
Luckily for us, GW Digital Editor-in-Chief Michael Astley-Brown had the chance to sit down with the man himself to discuss the guitar, and each of its unique components.
