Clapton played his Blackie from 1970 to 1985, and you can now follow in his footsteps with this Custom Shop Clapton Stratocaster!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Stratocaster was built in 2009 by Master Builder Stephen Stern, naturally also known for his fantastic Gretsches. For this Blackie, Stern has conjured up all the familiar features; the black-finished alder body has a white pickguard with three Noiseless pickups, which are controlled by a volume, tone, and mid-boost knob. The distinctive light maple neck, based on Blackie's original from 1957, has a comfortable V-profile. Stern did take the liberty of adding an extra fret, however, as this neck has 22 frets instead of the 21 of the original.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe guitar has light signs of wear on the body; Small scratches on the front, along with some light buckle wear on the back. The neck has some slightly shiny spots, but the frets will last for years without any issues! A wonderful guitar that lets the blues flow almost effortlessly!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis instrument has been carefully inspected for originality, condition and playability, then set up to our Gold Standard by a luthier. We make sure it arrives in your hands exactly as it should: sounding its best, playing effortlessly and ready to be enjoyed from the very first note.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"SS532","offer_id":53367290921307,"sku":"108795-SS532","price":6499.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/6607\/7019\/files\/FenderCustomShopClaptonBlackieStratocasterMasterbuiltStephenStern2009-2.jpg?v=1783348390","url":"https:\/\/www.tfoa.eu\/en-int\/products\/fender-custom-shop-clapton-blackie-stratocaster-2009","provider":"TFOA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
