Full Description
View Full DescriptionNoiseless vintage pickups
Clarity, definition, and high-detail performance. A tone worthy of Clapton, these noiseless pickups let your expression shine through the mix, free from any noise! Designed and built using period correct materials, they'll grant you that true, classic soundscape so you don't have to go any extra effort to recreate those old-school sounds. And because they've got such amazing articulation, you'll hear every frequency in great detail, from rich, syrupy lows through to the crystalline, sparkling highs.
But this is an Eric Clapton Strat, so those noiseless pickups are backed up by some controls that let you shape your sound in his style. That includes a Master TBX tone control (Treble Bass Expander) that lets you inject extra brightness and presence into the signal. This is in conjunction with a Mid boost on the second Tone control - you can push the output of a Strat further than ever before.
Soft V-shaped maple neck
It's special. Just like original, the Custom Shop signature Stratocaster boasts a soft V-shaped neck that'll put the classic feel into your hands. It also offers retro style riffing thanks to a 9.5" radius that's comfortable for both chording and Clapton-style lead lines. Dressed in 22 vintage style frets, you'll enjoy that fast-playing, classic action to your strings - in addition to frets that can stand up to years of hard playing!
It's so smooth thanks to its sleek satin urethane finish. Navigating the entire fretboard becomes an effortless task as you're able to slide all over the scales with the ultimate ease.
Clapton level hardware
Perform with confidence and consistency. Sporting high-quality Fender hardware, the Eric Clapton Signature Strat lets your playing reach new heights. Through a blocked vintage style tremolo, you can descend your pitch with thrilling whammy action, while at the same time enjoying superb tuning stability. Teamed together with vintage-style tuning machines and a synthetic bone nut, you'll get nothing but clear string vibrations, enormous sustain, and a solid, reliable performance.
