Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this Rad Fender Eric Clapton “Blackie” Signature Stratocaster in a Black Finish! There’s no bigger name in the entire guitar world than Eric Clapton! The man is a legend with a career that spans over 40 years! So, as you can imagine, this is one musician that can play any instrument he chooses – and he chooses the Fender Eric Clapton Artist Series Strat. First introduced in the 1980s, today’s Eric Clapton Strat has been updated with three Vintage Noiseless pickups, which work in conjunction with both a powerful active midrange boost and Fender TBX tone circuitry to create on of the most versatile guitars in the Fender catalog. The original Strat had three single-coil pickups, so it was able to produce sounds that no other guitar could deliver – particularly once players discovered they could lodge the 3-position blade switch in those in between positions to access different pickup combinations. These were often erroneously referred to as the out-of-phase settings. The Eric Clapton Strat comes standard with a modern 5-way blade switch, making it easy to access all the pickup combinations. But then it adds a special active 25dB midrange boost on one tone control to give this guitar the extra meat you might expect from a humbucker. In addition, the second tone knob functions as a standard Fender TBX master tone control, which can smoothly go from bright and glossy to dark and smoky by rolling off the highs! Leo Fender wasn’t afraid to think outside the box when it came to guitar designs – after all, he was an engineer, not a guitar player. In the 1950s and well into the 1970s, the blonde natural maple neck became almost synonymous with Fender guitars. The Eric Clapton Stratocaster comes with a 1-piece maple neck and fingerboard with 22 vintage-style frets and Eric’s personal favorite soft V shape. In keeping with contemporary player preferences, the fast-playing neck is finished in a smooth satin polyurethane. Excellent Shape with just a couple light finish marks on the top, otherwise She’s MINT! ALL Original-NO Breaks, Cracks or Repairs, Includes Original Hard-Shell Case!!
