Thick and easy to play. A Clapton Strat updated for real-world use

Based on the Fender USA Eric Clapton Stratocaster, this model is a stage-ready instrument designed with a focus on playability and versatility. While retaining the basic configuration of an alder body and a soft V-shaped maple neck, it maintains the familiar playability and stable feel that players have come to expect.

The pickups have been replaced, and the controls have been changed to a passive tone configuration similar to a standard Stratocaster. Unlike the original active mid-boost and TBX circuits, the controls are now more intuitive and user-friendly. This achieves a well-balanced tone based on a natural Strat sound with minimal quirks, making it suitable for a wide range of genres.

This player-oriented custom model retains the solid build quality and playability characteristic of Clapton models while offering a more standard control layout. It is highly recommended for those who prioritize ease of use and practicality.
There are signs of use, including scratches, dents, paint chipping, and some tarnish or rust on parts.
The neck is in good condition, and the instrument plays well.
