Explanation
Have you ever longed for the Clapton sound, yet wondered, "Can I really capture that nuance?" or "Isn't a signature model just mass-produced?" Stratocasters especially vary greatly from one to another, making it far from easy to find your ideal one.
This instrument provides a definitive answer to those uncertainties and doubts. John English, the legendary master builder who joined Fender in 1972 and laid the foundation for the Custom Shop.Though he left Fender once, he returned in the late 80s, spearheading the development of the Relic Series and creating the first-ever Custom Shop signature model. He truly embodied Fender's history. He passed away in 2007, deeply missed, but guitars bearing his name continue to radiate a special presence. This Custom Clapton Stratocaster is one crafted by John English himself.
It encapsulates specifications emblematic of Eric Clapton throughout. It features Fender Gold Lace Sensor pickups, delivering a thick, focused tone while minimizing noise. The TBX Control and Mid Booster allow seamless control from clean tones to thick, sticky drive sounds.The neck features a sharp V-shape that feels like it clings to your hand the more you grip it. The body color is the iconic Mercedes Blue synonymous with Clapton.
The neck wood quality is particularly noteworthy. The beautifully figured flame maple isn't mere decoration; it's a result achievable only by master builders with exceptional material selection and aesthetic discernment. Its presence, combining elegance and gravitas, confirms from the moment you hold it that this is far more than just a signature model.
This guitar isn't just for Clapton fans. It's the one we recommend to players seeking the ultimate Stratocaster and those who want to experience a true master build. It's a special Stratocaster where you can savor every bit of John English's proven craftsmanship and philosophy through its sound and feel.
