Fender Custom Shop Clapton Relic Stratocaster

skippy76

Hi all,

Sadly having to sell a few of my guitars to pay bills. My old 56 Les Paul Special is up for sale and next in line is this Clapton CS Strat. Its in top condition, ungigged and kept in its case. £3,450

Mirroring Eric Clapton's personal specs, the original Eric Clapton Signature model born in the Fender Custom Shop just got cooler with a new Journeyman Relic finish. The new finish lets the two-piece select ash's figure show through while feeling like it's seen countless gigs. Offering a special soft V-shaped maple neck, three Vintage Noiseless™ pickups, blocked tremolo and Clapton's signature on the headstock—along with the smooth feel and authentic sound of the original—the Journeyman Relic Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster is one of our finest creations.

Looking at those pictures has given me vertigo - I can't work out if they are upside down or back to front or both

wellsyboy

And both guitars should be on the same thread

Is it: Fender Custom Shop "Clapton Relic" Stratocaster or Fender Custom Shop Clapton "Relic Stratocaster"?

With Clapton being a bit of a relic himself?

I believe that rule only applies if both threads are started at the same time. That’s what one of the mods told me once anyway.

Thanks fretfinder

Still up for grabs and I'll be at the London guitar show on Sunday if anyone is interested.

Cheers
