The Fender Limited Edition Eric Clapton 30th Anniversary Stratocaster comes in the look of the legendary "Blackie" and convinces with versatile sounds.
The classic alder body of the Fender 30th Anniversary Strat is bolted to the riftsawn maple neck.
Fender 30th Anniversary Clapton Strat in classic design
For the construction of the Fender 30th Anniversary Eric Clapton Strat, the Fender Custom Shop relies on traditional construction and excellent woods. Accordingly, the body is made of carefully selected alder, while the neck is made of riftsawn maple. The "Contour Body" with its flowing shape lies comfortably on the player, while the "Soft V" neck profile and the 9.5" measuring fretboard radius are particularly suited to the classic playing techniques of blues and rock.
With three vintage noiseless single coil pickups, the Fender TBX Tone Control and the active mid boost, the Fender 30th Anniversary Clapton Strat delivers versatile sounds for blues and rock.
Vintage Noiseless Single Coils and versatile wiring
The electric sound conversion of the Fender Limited Edition Eric Clapton 30th Anniversary Strat is done as usual by three Fender Vintage Noiseless Single Coil Pickups, which deliver the typical bell-like Strat sound without disturbing background noise. The Fender TBX Tone Control is available for adjusting the sound. The clever use of a mid-rastered double potentiometer allows the usual damping of treble as well as the accentuation of bass and treble. In addition, there is an active Mid-Boost on board, which raises the mid-range frequencies by up to 25 dB and elicits a particularly creamy overdrive from the guitar amplifier.
In addition to six Fender vintage-style tuners, the headstock of the Fender 30th Anniversary Clapton Strat bears the Custom Shop's "Limited Edition" logo and the name of the legendary blues guitarist.
Blocked trem and vintage style tuners
Last but not least the Fender Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Eric Clapton Stratocaster convinces with a stylish hardware equipment according to Clapton's wishes. As a bridge a Fender Synchronized Tremolo is used, which is fixed in the spring chamber by a wooden block like Clapton's personal guitars and thus supports a direct sound development. Behind the bone saddle, Fender vintage-style tuners on the headstock ensure precise and stable tuning.
