Explanation
"I want to make Eric Clapton’s bold, sensual tone and stress-free playability my own." "But with the standard lineup, I’m just a step short of complete satisfaction when it comes to the feel of the neck, the depth of the tone, and the subtle expressiveness when played through an amp." As a player with an uncompromising sense of aesthetics, aren’t you seeking a truly exceptional finish that sets you apart from the rest?
The signature Stratocaster that has consistently supported Eric Clapton’s playing and left an indelible mark on the history of the electric guitar. To truly embody his exquisite tone and the nuanced picking that seems to cling to his fingertips, simply replicating the specs isn’t enough. From the meticulous selection of wood to the precision of assembly, the process demands masterful craftsmanship—which is precisely why it’s so rare to find a guitar that, the moment you pick it up, makes you say, “This is the one.”
The Fender Custom Shop Eric Clapton Stratocaster NOS boasts the overwhelming craftsmanship and refined sound quality unique to the Custom Shop. It embodies the perfect blend of the master’s aesthetic vision and the Custom Shop’s technical expertise, offering flawless specifications and a blissful playing experience.
The carefully selected one-piece maple neck features a V-shaped profile that offers an exquisite grip. It fits like a glove for every playing style—from a firm “shake-hand” grip to the classic thumb-over-fretboard hold. Its smooth, comfortable feel ensures you’ll experience absolutely no strain, even during extended playing sessions.
The alder body, crafted from the finest materials, delivers a beautiful, clear acoustic-like tone. The moment you plug it in, a silky, lustrous, and elegant Strat tone fills the room.
It features three Vintage Noiseless pickups. These completely suppress the noise typical of single-coil pickups while boasting superb responsiveness that reacts instantly to the subtlest touches of your fingertips.
It features a TBX tone control that allows you to freely shape your tone from mild to bright, as well as a “mid-boost circuit” that produces a thick, gritty tone and rich sustain with a single touch. From sweet, sensual overdrive sounds to standout solo tones, you can control everything perfectly right at your fingertips.
The Clapton Model is the result of the Custom Shop’s uncompromising quality. This is a ready-to-play guitar that we highly recommend not only to Clapton fans but also to any guitarist seeking “the ultimate Stratocaster—one with superb playability and premium tone that will last a lifetime.”
A superb V-shape that fits perfectly in your hands and a supreme, silky-smooth tone. Experience the highest quality that the Fender Custom Shop is renowned for.
