Used 2006 Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster Modified with Case
While the Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster is a well-known model that we've all seen, you haven't seen one like this exact one!
This instrument is from the personal collection of the late Brad Pie who played guitar in the 1990’s with the great Johnny Otis. Along with Johnny’s sons - Shuggie Otis (Guitar) and Nicky Otis (Drums) - Brad contributed guitar to the 1992 Grammy-Nominated “Spirits of the Black Territory Bands” by the Johnny Otis & His Orchestra group. Many of the instruments from Brad’s collection are uniquely modified.
The guitar has been upgraded with locking tuners, plus a super cool red mirror pickguard and backplate, custom knobs, and a bullet switch tip. A nice blonde case is included. Inside of it you'll find the original knobs, pickguard and backplate, so if you want to restore it back to original, you can (we can do that for you if desired).
As Fender says, you can experience the peerless style of Slowhand himself with the Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster, one of their most acclaimed and enduring artist models. With classic design and special features that give it exceptional tonal versatility and effortless feel worthy of one of the world's greatest names in rock and blues, it puts pure Clapton Stratocaster tone and feel straight into your hands.
Features include an alder body, three Vintage Noiseless™ pickups, active mid-boost (25 db) and TBX circuits, special soft "V"-shaped neck, and blocked original vintage synchronized tremolo.
The guitar was built in 2006, which was Fender's 60th Anniversary. It appears to have been modified and barely used, so it's in great shape, and has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop. As an FYI, the guitar was photographed with the trem arm in, but the bridge is blocked. If you want it like that, great. If not, we can unblock the bridge for you (no cost) so you can utilize the tremolo - just let us know.
An Eric Clapton Strat is a great find in general and this is the only one out there that looks like this!
