"I want a Clapton model, but what's the difference between the real thing and the commercially available one?"
Mark Kendrick is the master builder who built Eric Clapton's Stratocaster. He joined Music Man in 1976, then G&L, and finally Fender in 1991. He has deep ties with Leo Fender and describes himself as "a builder who is steeped in Fender."
This is a 2003 Fender Custom Shop MBS Mark Kendrick Custom Clapton Stratocaster made by Mark Kendrick. This guitar, which he has worked on as a model for Clapton himself, is truly worthy of being called a true Clapton model.
The familiar mid boost and TBX controls are still there, of course. The specifications are identical to the commercially available model, as Clapton himself wanted to make sure there was no difference between the commercially available model and the model he used. However, thanks to Mark Kendrick's craftsmanship and carefully selected materials, the high-frequency range, the richness of the midrange, the comfort of the neck, and the playing performance are clearly in a league of their own when it comes to commercially available products.
This is a special Stratocaster that is perfect for Clapton fans looking for a guitar that will last a lifetime, as well as those who are embarrassed to have Clapton's name on the headstock but still want the best Clapton model.
Whether you display it as a decorative piece, play it live, or record, this guitar will make every moment a memorable one. Embrace the Clapton tone with your own hands.
