Fender Custom Shop Eric Clapton Stratocaster

In black (Blackie), no aging.
I compare with my 1998 Fender USA Clapton Strat (Lace Sensors or more recent Noiseless pickups) and a 2017 Fender Clapton neck (as replacement of the 1998 neck).
The Custom Shop guitar has of course the standard Clapton setup (Noiseless pickups, boost and TBX, onboard electronics (9V battery in the trem cavity), blocked trem, single ply 8 screws pickguard).
Everything is very well setup and flawless (everything is approximately 10% better than on the standard USA model).
The shape of the neck (V) is significantly different, much nicer and more user-friendly than on the standard USA.
The Custom falls in the hands and stays there, for a better play.
Simply better, an exceptional Clapton guitar.
So there is a concrete added value in the Custom Shop model ...
which I would strongly recommend (with no personal interest whatsoever).
