USED FENDER CUSTOM SHOP / Eric Clapton Stratocaster NOS Midnight Blue [03]

A used 2023 Fender Custom Shop Eric Clapton Stratocaster in NOS Midnight Blue has arrived.

This is a Custom Shop Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster, crafted to Eric Clapton’s specifications using the same instruments as those in his personal guitar.

It features a “2-Piece Alder” body with a “Urethane” finish, and the neck is finished in “WLS Satin”
“plain-grain maple” neck finished with a “WLS Satin” urethane finish.

The fingerboard radius is 9.5R, and it is equipped with 22 “Vintage Upgrade/45085” frets. The neck shape features the special “Eric Clapton V Shape.”

It is finished with a V-shape that feels as if it’s suctioned to your hand, making bends and vibrato while gripping the neck extremely comfortable.

The “Midnight Blue” finish gives it a deep, elegant look.

It is equipped with three of the familiar “Vintage Noiseless” pickups.
They deliver a low-noise, clear sound with excellent separation.

The control section features the TBX tone control—a staple of Clapton models—along with a mid-boost function that delivers powerful, fat lead tones, allowing for a wide range of tone control right at your fingertips.

Just like the original specification, a wooden block has been inserted into the bridge to secure the tremolo.

There are dents on the upper left corner of the top and on the lower side of the body, as well as other minor scratches and dents, but the guitar has been maintained and is in good playing condition.
The back panel and its screws have been replaced.

This guitar comes highly recommended not only for Clapton fans, but also for players who enjoy fine-tuning their tone right at their fingertips and those seeking a Stratocaster of exceptional quality.

Please take this opportunity to consider purchasing it.
