The Story

Eric Clapton Stratocaster Mercedes Blue 2005

Here's a very lightly used Fender Custom Shop Eric Clapton Stratocaster. It boasts a classy Mercedes Blue finish and a satin finish soft "V" neck shape with a 9.5" radius - perfect for rhythm playing. Under the hood lies a set of Noiseless single coils, and the bridge tone knob serves as a control for an active mid-boost circuit. Turned up slightly it gives your tone a slight kick, and turned to ten will make your leads and solos stand out in any tune. The guitar was refretted with big Jumbo frets for easy bends and lead playing, and wiring with a push/pull that will active the bridge pickup in any position that it normally wouldn't be in: such as the neck and bridge together without the middle pickup! The guitar has some light wear around the body, and includes the original case and certificate of authenticity.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
