Seriously one of the most recognizable tones of all guitar players.

[iggyfritz]

When Eric says a different bridge saddle or a washer makes a difference you can bank on it.
A true master of the Stratocaster. This guy
Ooozes wisdom and talent. God bless Eric Johnson.

[RogerSullivanNOLA]

"The washer on my output jack is part of my tone" is one of the most "Eric Johnson" things I've ever heard.

[stratmanuk]

Just about any other guitarist when talking about their sig' models doesn't have much to say; and then comes EJ with deep knowledge, tone to die for and godlike ability! What a guy 😊

[JohnG]

I love how he describes the damage. " I took a fall and it got hurt". he loved that guitar!

[jimraimondi]

I put a flat washer on my coffee cup and man the coffee taste is incredible!!!

Had the pleasure of talking with Eric Johnson last summer for a few minutes. For awhile every conversation i started with guitar players went like this ...' so i was talking with Eric Johnson the other day and'...

[retrocny]

That lead overdriven tone of his, one of the most recognizable guitar tones in existence. It's not a tone I personally go for in my playing but I still love it all the same because it just screams Eric Johnson and Cliffs of Dover.

[Jeff-mxj]

The truth is that EJ would make a Squire sound amazing.

[guitaraficionado]

Eric Johnson's guitar playing is brilliant. His playing is in a class by itself.

[XLBiker]

Easily the best bridge pickup I've ever heard on a Strat which I typically find too brash or brittle for my tastes. It makes sense that he rewired the second tone pot to the bridge so that he can roll it back a little. Sounds incredible. And it is Eric Johnson so what should I expect. He's so amazing. Even just walking through chords whatever he plays is so beautiful.

[Jamesfoofighter]

This is the guy that claimed different battery brands affected the tone from his effects pedals. Love him

[nilsx]

This one's really special, especially the CS MB version with the subtle aging. And Eric is so extremely knowledgeable and nerdy about the details, he's really a guitarists' guitarist, but also just an amazing musician.

Blinkey, I am a keyboardist and Eric is my hero! I stumbled on his record in 1996 Venus Isle. I still cannot put it down and I never tire of ot...Hard to explain, it is phenomenal...

[ChrisBilodeauPhotography]

I love Eric. I took a fall and I couldn't get the tone back. Like it fell out. lol

Gonna quote this.

[srinip]

What a great player - and what a nice, soft spoken guy; who knows more about guitars than a million YouTube experts combined.

[John-ppqv]

Eric is such a consummate gentleman and professional. So knowledgable and passionate about his love of guitar, music, and musical influences.

[darylquevada]

Its so nice to listen to artists that really understand the technical side of their gears.

[Zoso]

I remember beginning guitar over 10 years ago and Eric was the first guitarist I found on the web. After seeing him I wanted to quit playing because I could never be that good. That still holds true now.
