Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Modeled on Eric Johnson’s modified 1954 “Virginia” Stratocaster, this limited-edition Fender pairs a rift/quartersawn sassafras body with a one-piece maple neck and 2-Color Sunburst finish. The Soft V neck, 12-inch maple fingerboard, and 21 medium-jumbo frets accommodate the flowing legato approach associated with the model. A DiMarzio HS2 at the bridge joins ’57/62 single-coils in the middle and neck, while custom wiring adds the position-two out-of-phase “koto” setting. It includes a G&G tweed hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
