What we say:

Eric Clapton's signature Stratocaster is so useful and well thought out that other celebrity players like Pete Townsend choose it to tour with on a nightly basis. There are quite a lot of distinguishing features on hand here, all designed to make this guitar extremely useful for the pro player.

Chief amongst these is the active mid boost, controlled with the second tone knob. This boost almost turns your mild-mannered Strat into a beastly high output rock monster! Otherwise the pickups on here are vintage voiced noiseless units, a replacement from the previously used Lace Sensors.

Interestingly, the tremolo unit, whilst being fully functional in theory, has been blocked off underneath with a piece of wood at Clapton's request. It's an simple matter of pulling the block out if this spoils your whammy bar fun though!

The neck is also a departure compared to most Stratocaster models: this has a typical 9.5" radius across the front but a relatively unique "shallow V" carve at the back. It seems a bold choice until you play it and find out it's really comfortable and promotes lots of playing without fatigue. Overall it's a tremendous instrument, again not just for Clapton fans. However, if you do worship at the temple of Eric, this is a no-brainer! This Pewter finish isn't something you see too often either.

This is an amazingly versatile guitar

Norman E. - 23/5/2023

I have owned over 25 different guitars over the last 20 years or so and can honestly say the Eric Clapton strat is the most versatile, hard working, reliable and best guitar ive ever played. I had one previously and always regretted selling it so had to get one again! You will never be disappointed with this guitar and the pewter is the best colour given its a unique colour to Clapton and the colour he uses most. Thanks again GuitarGuitar??

Kevan C. - 19/5/2022

Promised myself a strat for years which is odd because I'm a drummer, but guitar is just as good as I expected.
