Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster Electric Guitar – A Legend in Itself

Eric Clapton is a name that needs no introduction when it comes to the world of music. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three times, Clapton is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time. No wonder, the Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster Electric Guitar is nothing short of legendary.

This signature guitar model belongs to the long line of Fender Stratocaster, which has always been a favorite for many guitar players, including Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Buddy Holly. However, the Eric Clapton Stratocaster is unique in its own right, refined and designed to suit the artist’s specific needs – both on and off stage.

Features of the Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster

Crafted with a vintage linear seven and a quarter-inch fretboard radius and a ‘soft V’ shaped neck, the Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster is modeled after Eric’s favorite Fender from the early 50s. Throughout the years, the guitar underwent various modifications that resulted in a unique instrument. Perhaps the most apparent modification is found in the presence of active electronics where Eric Clapton’s signature model features a trio of noiseless pickups designed in collaboration with Fender.

Apart from the ability to reduce unwanted noise, the presence of active electronics enables the guitar to produce a wide range of tones from Clapton’s signature bluesy and clean sounds to heavier rock tones favored by the likes of ZZ Top or Iron Maiden. Further, the guitar features a ‘blocked’ tremolo to provide a more stable platform – specifically designed to make playing fast and intricate licks more accessible while keeping the tuning intact throughout the set.

Conclusion

The Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster Electric Guitar has carved a niche of its own in the guitar-playing community. Not only is it a beautiful instrument, but it also comes with its unique soundscape that has captivated guitar enthusiasts worldwide. Its versatility, gorgeous design, and Eric Clapton’s musical legacy make it a timeless classic that any serious guitarist should get their hands on.
