Up for sale is an EXCELLENT CONDITION 2005 FENDER STRATOCASTER "METALLIC CANDY GREEN" ERIC CLAPTON SIGNATURE MODEL. 🧧

For Fender enthusiasts and Clapton fans alike, this is a fantastic opportunity to own a unique variation of one of Fender’s most respected signature models, combining classic Strat performance with a finish most players simply don’t come across.

This Metallic Candy Green finish was produced in very limited numbers, with conservative estimates suggesting fewer than approximately 750 units were made in total. 🎸

Unlike standard black, sunburst, or Olympic White Clapton models, this color stands out immediately while still maintaining a classy Fender aesthetic. You’re unlikely to run into another one locally or even at most shows.. The most common Clapton Stratocaster colorways are: Black, Red, White or Sunburst.

This Fender instrument is in excellent overall condition, with only light signs of play. You can tell it's been very well respected by the previous owner. 🙏

Excellent build quality overall starting from the body, neck, headstock and metal hardware. The Eric Clapton Stratocaster models are probably one of Fender's most iconic Stratocaster releases... They look good and sound very balanced as well. Many professional players consider the Clapton Strat one of the most versatile Stratocasters Fender has ever produced. ⚡️

The Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups paired with the Clapton electronics make this Strat incredibly versatile. The active mid-boost circuit allows this guitar to move effortlessly from classic Strat sparkle to thicker, almost humbucker-like drive when pushed. I've tested this guitar out with both classic Tube Amps + Digital Modelers... it sounds great for both (mainly played through Fender Princeton Reverb + Twin Reverb). 🎤

Has some very faint surface scratches and dings on front/back/sides of guitar from standard playing. Some dust on the pickup and bridge area on the bottom that can be easily cleaned off. Some pickguard swirls and marks and some marks on the fretboard from playing with a pick. Some wear on back of maple neck mainly on the middle of neck from playing chords and soloing. Difficult to see in photographs. Neck feels very good in your hands and is great for players who play with fingerstyle and pick as well. NO HEADSTOCK CRACK.

Frets have plenty of life remaining and the neck feels smooth, fast, and broken-in exactly how a great Strat should. The satin-feeling maple neck allows effortless movement up and down the fretboard.
