You want a guitar wrapped in GOLD? Well, here ya go! This stunner was built by Todd Krause, builder for Clapton, Jeff Beck, KWS, and an endless list of other legendary guitar players. A bit of a throwback Clapton Signature Model with this guitar! Thanks to the Lace Sensor Gold Pickups, this one nails the tone of the late 1980s and early 90s. As a teenager growing up during that time period, I remember watching Clapton playing on TV many times with these pickups and thinking, well, if they are good enough for him!
The guitar itself is a pure Clapton Strat in every way, shape, and form, then it's finished in the insanely cool Gold Leaf Finish, which, until you see it in person, can't be fully appreciated! Insanely difficult to apply and supremely cool, the Gold Leaf always stops people in their tracks.
The highly figured maple neck is on FIRE! The fretboard is rolled perfectly, the fret ends are hot-dogged perfectly, and this is one of the finest playing guitars we have on the wall right now. Todd Krause delivers nothing but the finest and this is a perfect representation of what he delivers every single time. The Clapton Soft V Neck teamed with Vintage frets and a 9.5" radius yields very low action and a fast playing surface.
This is it. This is where it ends. It doesn't get any better, cooler or big-time then having an Eric Clapton Signature Strat, built by Eric Clapton's current builder, finished in actual Gold Leaf. I mean, come on!
