Not just for "slowhand" fans
This signature starter guitar is one of the "icing on the cake" of our range and offers special features like a trio of Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups as well as powerful active mid-boost and TBX circuits that make it one of the most versatile instruments we offer. Other features include a special soft V-shaped neck and a blocked original vintage synchronous tremolo bridge.
"Soft V" Neck Profile
The "soft V" neck profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) on the Eric Clapton Stratocaster has a distinctly comfortable fretting-hand feel that takes the more pronounced sharpness of a ’50s "V" profile and "softens" it into a somewhat more rounded shape. Ideal for players with larger hands whose thumb extends over the edge of the fingerboard.
TBX Tone Control
The first tone control knob operates this guitar’s TBX (Treble Bass Expander) tone circuitry. The knob has a detent at the center position (5) and works like a normal tone control from zero to the detent. Turning the knob clockwise from the detent adds presence and brightness; turning it counterclockwise from the detent rolls off high frequencies.
Active Mid Boost
The second tone control knob functions as an active mid-boost control. Turning it clockwise boosts mid and bass frequencies while decreasing treble frequencies.
Blocked Tremolo
The Eric Clapton Stratocaster comes with an easily removable wood block installed between the tremolo block and tremolo cavity wall to keep it from moving, as specified by the great guitarist himself.
Urethane Finish
Urethane guitar body finishes are especially strong and durable, and will hold colors with great vividness, sheen and clarity for extraordinarily long periods.
9.5" Fingerboard Radius
The fingerboard radius is an important spec that describes the amount of curvature across the width of the fingerboard. This instrument’s modern 9.5" fingerboard radius is slightly more flattened than a vintage-style radius, but still with enough arc to provide a natural and notably comfortable fretting-hand feel, and to make bending notes easier.

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).
