Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster Candy Green 1989

Clapton gebruikte zijn meest bekende Stratocaster Blackie van 1970 tot 1983, toen de gitaar zodanig versleten was dan hij onbruikbaar was geworden. Roger Giffin bouwde twee kopieën van zijn geliefde Strat, waarna Clapton werd benaderd door Dan Smith om een signature-model op de markt te brengen. In 1988 verscheen dit model op de markt, en deze Candy Green Stratocaster is dus een gitaar uit de eerste generatie Clapton signatures.

Deze Clapton Stratocaster is helaas wel ontdaan van enkele kenmerkende specificaties. Zo vinden we op het gebied van elektronica dat de kenmerkende Lace Sensor pickups en TBX tone controle zijn vervangen door een prewired Custom Shop slagplaat met drie Fat 50's pickups. Ook is de tremolo niet geblokkeerd, en daarnaast valt op dat de topkam is vervangen door een zwart exemplaar.

De gitaar heeft verder speelsporen op de body en hals, waaronder gemiddelde buckle wear op de achterzijde van de body. Het is echter een fijn spelende én klinkende Stratocaster die met enkele eenvoudige aanpassingen weer helemaal in Clapton-stijl teruggebracht kan worden. Wordt met TFOA paspoort geleverd in een Fender-koffer

Clapton used his most famous Stratocaster, the Blackie, from 1970 until 1983, when the guitar was so worn out that it was unusable. Roger Giffin built two copies of his beloved Strat, after which Clapton was approached by Dan Smith to release a signature model. This model was released in 1988, and this Candy Green Stratocaster is a guitar from the first generation of Clapton signatures.


This Clapton Stratocaster has unfortunately been stripped of some of its signature features. Regarding the electronics, for example, the characteristic Lace Sensor pickups and TBX tone control have been replaced by a prewired Custom Shop pickguard with three Fat 50s pickups. The tremolo is also not locked, and it's also noticeable that the nut has been replaced with a black one.


The guitar also has playwear on the body and neck, including moderate buckle wear on the back of the body. However, it's a great-playing and great-sounding Stratocaster that can be completely restored to its Clapton style with a few simple adjustments. It comes with a TFOA passport and comes in a Fender hardshell case.

Clapton spielte seine berühmteste Stratocaster, die „Blackie“, von 1970 bis 1983, bis sie so abgenutzt war, dass sie unspielbar wurde. Roger Giffin baute zwei Kopien seiner geliebten Strat, woraufhin Dan Smith Clapton kontaktierte, um ein Signature-Modell herauszubringen. Dieses Modell erschien 1988, und diese Candy Green Stratocaster gehört zur ersten Generation der Clapton-Signature-Gitarren.


Leider wurden dieser Clapton Stratocaster einige ihrer charakteristischen Merkmale genommen. So wurden beispielsweise die typischen Lace-Sensor-Pickups und die TBX-Tonregelung durch ein vorverdrahtetes Custom-Shop-Schlagbrett mit drei Fat-50s-Pickups ersetzt. Das Tremolo ist nicht arretierbar, und der Sattel wurde durch einen schwarzen ersetzt.


Die Gitarre weist Gebrauchsspuren an Korpus und Hals auf, darunter auch leichte Abnutzungsspuren durch einen Gürtel auf der Rückseite. Dennoch ist sie eine hervorragend spielbare und klangvolle Stratocaster, die sich mit wenigen Handgriffen wieder in ihren ursprünglichen Clapton-Stil zurückversetzen lässt. Sie wird mit einem TFOA-Pass und einem Fender-Hartschalenkoffer geliefert.
