Product Details

A Fender Custom Shop Clapton Stratocaster has arrived!
As the name suggests, this is a signature model made for Eric Clapton, but this particular instrument has been significantly modified from the original specifications, resulting in a guitar that is purely geared towards practical use.

First, regarding the electronics, the original active mid-boost circuit has been completely removed and replaced with a passive wiring system similar to a typical Stratocaster.

Furthermore, judging from its appearance and wiring characteristics, the pickups appear to have been replaced with Texas Specials, giving the impression that it has been tuned towards a more straightforward, easy-to-handle, vintage-like direction, rather than the distinctive character of a signature model.

Therefore, while it may not appeal to those seeking the typical "Clapton model" sound, conversely, it is a very attractive instrument as a practical Stratocaster that combines the high playability and woodworking precision of a Custom Shop with a lack of unnecessary quirks. For those looking for a Stratocaster that can be reliably used on stage, or those seeking a "completed player's guitar" rather than a base for modification, this is likely to be a very appealing choice.

In terms of sound, the Texas Special's characteristic punch and crispness are impressive.
In clean tones, the separation of each string is clearly felt, and even when playing chords, the contours don't get lost. For cutting, a pleasant edge comes through.
On the other hand, in overdrive sounds, there's a moderate amount of sustain in the midrange, and despite being a single-coil, the sound doesn't become thin even when leading.
Furthermore, the response to picking nuances is excellent, and the ability to finely control the expression through the dynamics and volume of your right hand is another attractive feature of this instrument.
Rather than simply being a "powerful Stratocaster," it has a raw, responsive sound that faithfully reflects the player's touch.
The crisp attack when slightly distorted on the amp is also pleasing, making it the kind of guitar you'll find yourself playing for hours.

While there are signs of use and minor damage commensurate with its age, the exterior is in very practical condition for playing.

The precision and neck feel, characteristic of a Custom Shop instrument, are clearly evident, and its level of perfection goes beyond simply being a modified instrument.
This is especially recommended for those looking for a Stratocaster that can be used roughly on stage, or for those seeking a slightly more sophisticated instrument?a Custom Shop guitar "bred up for live performance."
Please consider this opportunity.
