1957 ERIC jOHNSON OWNED FENDER STRAT. NOTHING BETTER!

THIS HAS BEEN MY OWN STRAT FOR AWHILE.

1957 Fender strat serial # 028024 guitar from Guitarzan in early to mid 90's Texas, owner Tim Gnader, he said it was owned by Eric Johnson. It was a blonde finish with a broken neck. Sent the guitar to Tom Murphy to refinish in an accurate 3 tone sunburst and looked for an original neck to replace the broken neck, couldn't find one. He found a Elliot Mechanic neck made in Canada which is a repro strat neck, but was the perfect fit.

Tom finished the guitar in an incredible 3-tone finish(pictures I sent to show you the guitar) that george gruhn and everyone that has seen it believes that it is not a re-fin, it is a complete re-fin by tom murphy, not original other than the parts, body and hardware, neck is not origianl to the guitar. All the original hardware, bridge, pickups everything was sent to Dan Erlewine after finishing to be re-assembled, took over a year to get it back. There were a few screws from the 60's before sending which I purchased the correct 1958 ones again before sending so all original screws would match. All of those items were purchased from Uncle Lou Gatanas located in Flushing NY. Also BB King played this guitar and said that he actually loved it, signed it as well on the back of the headstock in blue sharpie.

Dan set the guitar up and put it together for me. He replaced the pots and the 3-way switch

Im here to get you the "Best" Strat, Most Vibe, Best PLAYING, Unreal Real Bell Tone. I Know Bell Tone, not just a dreamer on eBay copying my words! This Strat is a 10+ in EVERY catagory. I Find and Pay the Dollar for the Best. If I say it's good, IT"S GREAT
save the email on offers, this is the price.Comes with a Custom Shop Tweed case.

Before you ask, YES this Neck is a BOAT Neck, not a kind of Big neck, you can play baseball with it. Fender Does not, nor did they ever make a neck this big on a Strat. But, this is a Animal of a Stratocaster,Pickups are Orig windings.

Not your every day Axe! Can you think of 2 better people building and restoring this strat other than Tom Murphy or Dan Erlewine building and setting it up? On earth, past and present?
