Description
Eric Johnson built his reputation on a Strat, but he’s always kept humbucker-loaded guitars in the mix too – and the EJ Custom neck pickup is what came out of chasing that same glassy clarity in a full-size humbucker body. It drops straight into any standard humbucker cavity with no routing or retrofitting required.
- Bright, present voicing that avoids the thin or brittle side of “clear”
- Eric’s own comparison: nearly as articulate as his single-coil Strat pickups
- Stays defined and unmuddied even when pushed into heavy distortion
- Direct replacement for standard, full-size humbuckers
What makes the EJ Custom worth a second look is how it holds its composure under gain. A lot of bright-voiced humbuckers get harsh or lose focus once you pile on overdrive – this one keeps its edges clean and its low end tight, which is exactly the trait Eric noticed when he first plugged it in.
This listing is the neck-position model in exposed-coil cream. The EJ Custom is also offered in all standard DiMarzio colors, plus plated or unplated nickel cover options at additional cost.
