There are countless Clapton models out there, but encountering one truly worthy of being called "special" is rare indeed. Even if the looks and specs are identical, the value changes completely depending on who crafted it. Amidst this, haven't you ever thought, "I want to own a Clapton model that stands apart from the rest"?
It's only natural you care about that difference. Because you see a guitar not just as a tool, but as an instrument embodying the builder's philosophy and sound. This one resonates precisely with such authentic-seeking guitarists.
This Clapton model was crafted by Art Esparza, who supported the Fender Custom Shop in its early days. It features early Gold Lace Sensor pickups, TBX controls, and a mid-boost, achieving a tenacious midrange and clear high frequencies under Clapton's supervision. The rare metallic green finish and beautiful flame maple neck give it a commanding presence. The careful neck shaping by his hand is a finish that you can feel the difference the moment you pick it up.
Art Esparza joined Fender in 1997 and was selected as the seventh member of the Custom Shop in 1988, during its formative years. He was promoted to Master Builder in 1994, but left Fender in 2004 due to health issues and is currently active as a saxophonist. In other words, the Clapton models he crafted will never be made again. These are not just guitars; they are works born of history and human hands.
Only those who love guitar as the fusion of sound and human spirit can truly grasp its value. Not for mere collectors, but for players who yearn to "play Clapton's sound and soul with their own hands." Add this guitar to your collection – the one that lets you declare, "My Clapton model is different from the rest." The moment you found this one is the moment.
