[SN CN608953] USED Fender Custom Shop / Eric Clapton Stratocaster Black [11]
A 1998 model finished to 1990s Custom Shop quality, featuring the Eric Clapton Signature.
In addition to an alder body, this model features a carefully selected flamed maple neck. It offers not only visual beauty but also a high-quality finish that combines solid rigidity with excellent responsiveness.
It is equipped with Lace Sensor pickups, which were standard at the time. These offer a unique tone characterized by smoothness and a sense of compression while keeping noise to a minimum. Furthermore, the active mid-boost (approx. 25dB) and TBX tone control allow you to achieve a thick, resilient sound that transcends the typical single-coil range, covering everything from clean to lead tones.
The block tremolo system ensures stable tuning and a direct, responsive tone. It achieves a high level of balance between playability and practical performance.
In addition to its classic ’90s specifications, this model features a striking flamed neck that makes a bold visual statement.
This Clapton Strat delivers high satisfaction in sound, playability, and appearance.
Recommended for players seeking a fatter, more expressive sound while retaining the Strat’s signature playability.
While there are minor scratches, dents, and discoloration on the knobs,
it remains in good condition considering its age.
The neck is in perfect condition, and the instrument plays well.
