Fender’s R&D engineers
worked closely with world renowned guitarist
and tone connoisseur Eric Johnson to craft
the perfect pickups for his uniquely
articulate sound. Carefully blending Leo’s
legacy with EJ’s modern discerning sonic
tastes, these Strat™ pickups are a key
element of EJ’s unmistakably pure tone. Each
pickup is unique in structure and
performance. The neck pickup is based on a
’54 Strat pickup with oversized alnico 3
magnets (0.197"). The middle pickup, based on a ’63
Strat pickup, uses specially treated alnico
3 magnets and is reverse wound to cancel hum
when used with the neck or bridge pickup.
The bridge pickup uses alnico 5 magnets and
is specially voiced to be hotter without
sacrificing that sweet top end sparkle
