Eric Johnson, one of the worlds hardest working guitar players, is well known for his ‘violin-type’ guitar sound. Eric has used lots of gear in the last 30 years of his career, but his primary tone originates from vintage equipment that can be difficult to obtain. His current setup includes a combination of vintage Fender and Marshal amplification.
