This Used 2009 Fender Custom Shop Eric Clapton Stratocaster Masterbuilt by Todd Krause in Black is here on consignment. The guitar is in clean cosmetic shape with nothing negative to mention. The neck is straight, the frets are still crowned, and the truss rod functions properly. Included with the guitar are the original hardshell case and certificate of authenticity.
This Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Eric Clapton Stratocaster by Todd Krause in Black is an instrument that can run the gamut from spanky cleans a la Lay Down Sally to the searing lead tones on the Journey Man record. Todd Krause has been building Clapton's guitars for years so you know this guitar is fit for the man, himself!
The Vintage Noiseless pickups don't produce any 60-cycle hum, while the onboard Mid Boost adds in a lot of output going from single coil to high-output humbuckers. A factory-installed 5-way switch gives you immediate access to all the quintessential Strat tones.
The neck profile is a slender Soft V which is very easy on the hands. It's carved from a piece of Plain Maple. The 9.5" Radius allows for easy bending across the 22 Vintage Frets. The neck is finished with a satin urethane that is never sticky and simply will not slow you down no matter how sweaty your hands get.
