Used – Made in 2001

This is a used Fender USA Eric Clapton Stratocaster in Olympic White with a maple fingerboard, manufactured in 2001. A highly regarded artist model that blends classic Stratocaster style with Eric Clapton’s signature tone and playability.

The guitar features an alder body, maple neck and fingerboard, Soft “V” neck profile, 22 frets, and a 9.5" radius—providing a comfortable feel for both chord work and lead playing.

Equipped with three Vintage Noiseless™ Stratocaster pickups, it delivers clear and articulate Strat tones while effectively reducing noise. The built‑in 25dB Active Mid Boost and TBX™ Tone Control offer a wide tonal range, from traditional Strat sounds to thick, powerful lead tones.

The 6‑Saddle American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo is factory‑blocked on the Eric Clapton model, ensuring stable tuning and a feel tailored to Clapton’s playing style. The Soft “V” neck shape fits naturally in the hand and offers excellent comfort across all playing styles.

As a 2001 model, this instrument has over 20 years of age. It shows typical wear such as minor scratches, small dings, and slight tarnish on metal parts, but remains in excellent condition for its age with no issues affecting playability.

The Eric Clapton Stratocaster is one of Fender USA’s most iconic artist models, featuring unique specifications not found on standard Stratocasters—Vintage Noiseless pickups, active mid boost, TBX tone circuit, Soft “V” neck, and a blocked tremolo system. Highly sought after on the used market.
