The Story

Eric Clapton Stratocaster Masterbuilt Todd Krause Mercedes Blue

This Masterbuilt Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster is finished in a cool Mercedes Blue, and is crafted by the very talented Todd Krause! Todd is the builder responsible for building Claptons personal signature guitars which he uses on stages around the world - so if anyone knows how to perfect a Clapton Strat - it's Todd Krause! Built to Slowhand’s exacting specifications, the Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster guitar—among the “Cream” of the Fender crop, so to speak—is powered by three Vintage Noiseless™ pickups and features a special soft V-shaped maple neck, blocked tremolo and Clapton’s signature on the headstock. The soft "V" shape of the neck paired with a 9.5" radius and vintage style frets feels great for rhythm playing, 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.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Strap, Cable, and Paperwork.
