Product Description
Fender Clapton Strat Signature OW, Electric guitar
- For almost 2 decades was the guitar god Eric Clapton seen/heard only with his "Blackie" assembled from 3 strats. When he decided to give it a truly deserved retirement
- Fender built him a guitar exactly like Blackie
- combined with a few extra wishes from the master. Due to the maple neck and the new vintage noiseless pickups
- the Clapton Strat sounds very pronounced
- which can be enhanced with the well-known TBX tone control; because Eric's sound have gone lately slightly fatter
- the guitar has a very effective mid-boost; when it's active
- the soloist sings again in a prime Woman Tone. A very versatile instrument that also celebrities apart from Clapton like to play.

Frequently Asked Questions
The TBX pot offers a wider frequency range, allowing for more nuanced and expressive tone shaping, particularly in the mid-range.
It’s a subtle departure – not as pronounced as a modern C-shape, but offers a slightly more comfortable feel, especially for players who find traditional Strats too sharp.
While retaining a vintage Strat character, the noiseless design reduces hum without sacrificing much of the warmth or bite; it's a cleaner, more focused sound.
