Fender Eric Clapton Artist Series Stratocaster; Pewter: Serial No: US21033023 | Second Hand
Fender Eric Clapton Artist Series Stratocaster; Pewter: Serial No: US21033023 | Second Hand
A versatile, artist-signature electric guitar engineered for professional blues and rock performance.
The Eric Clapton Stratocaster represents one of the most enduring collaborations in the Fender Artist Series, designed to meet the specific technical requirements of a legendary career. This model balances the aesthetic of a mid-century classic with integrated electronics that allow players to transition from traditional single-coil clarity to saturated, humbucker-like lead tones without switching instruments.
The foundation of the instrument is a solid alder body paired with a one-piece maple neck. It features a distinctive "soft V" neck profile, favoured for its ergonomic thumb placement and comfortable grip during extended sessions. Hardware includes a vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge, which is factory-blocked with a wood shim per the artist’s preference to ensure maximum tuning stability and resonance.
Advanced Electronics and Tone Control
-
Vintage Noiseless™ Pickups: Employs three specialised single-coil pickups designed to provide authentic Stratocaster chime while eliminating the 60-cycle hum typically associated with vintage electronics.
-
Active Mid-Boost Circuit: An integrated onboard preamp provides up to 25 dB of gain via a dedicated control knob, effectively pushing a tube amplifier into natural overdrive.
-
TBX Tone System: The Treble Bass Expander (TBX) functions as a standard tone control from positions 1 to 5, while positions 6 to 10 decrease resistance to add presence and brightness to the signal.
Premium Construction and Playability
-
Special "Soft V" Neck: A custom-carved profile that offers a smoother transition for the fretting hand compared to sharper "V" shapes of the 1950s.
-
Synchronized Tuning: Equipped with vintage-style six-in-line tuning machines for precise mechanical operation and period-correct aesthetics.
Assembled with precision in Corona, California, the Eric Clapton Stratocaster is built to endure the rigors of touring while offering the nuanced control required for studio recording. Its combination of active circuitry and classic hardware makes it a versatile tool for guitarists seeking a wide frequency response and dependable physical performance.
