Custom Fender Stratocaster Eric Clapton 24 Nights Inspired Lace Sensor Gold

This is a custom Eric Clapton Stratocaster build by E11even Guitars using genuine Fender and Fender licensed components. It is inspired by his 24 Nights era configuration and features Lace Sensor Gold pickups, TBX tone control and the 25db Mid Boost preamp, just like the original Clapton Strats of the late 80s.

The body is a medium relic 2007 genuine Fender USA Eric Clapton body made of Alder with Black poly finish. It has a few nice chips and is very scratched and scuffed throughout, similar to the Road Worn series Strats. It is loaded with aged relic Chrome Fender hardware and big block tremolo that is decked with 5 springs and blocked with wood from below per EC specs.

The pickguard assembly is one of our new custom Lace Sensor Gold built to original Clapton Stratocaster specs and lightly aged in our custom shop to look right at home with the relic body and hardware. It features a 1 ply White 50s spec pickguard, genuine Lace Sensor Gold pickups, Fender TBX tone control with 25db Mid Boost preamp, Oak Grigsby 5 way switch and a stereo Switchctaft jack that switches on the active preamp when a cable is inserted. The system is powered by a 9V battery accessable by removing the rear tremolo cover.

The neck is a new Mighty Mite licensed by Fender Stratocaster neck made to same specs as the original stock Clapton necks. It features lightly figured Maple construction, 22 medium jumbo frets, 9.5" fretboard radius, soft V rear profile and a silky smooth satin poly finish. It is fitted with genuine Fender vintage tuners and a Kluson string tree. The frets have been leveled, crowned and polished.

The guitar weighs 7.6 lbs and is strung with Ernie Ball Regular Slinky 10-46 gauge strings per EC specs. It includes the new Fender Deluxe padded gigbag shown and will ship insured ground with a signature required for delivery.
