Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster 6-String Right-Handed Electric Guitar with Alder Body (Torino Red)
Experience the peerless Strat style of
Slowhand himself with the Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster 6-String
Right-Handed Electric Guitar in Torino Red, one of Fender’s most acclaimed and
enduring artist signature models. With classic design and special features that
give it exceptional tonal versatility and effortless feel worthy of one of the
world's greatest names in rock and blues, it puts pure Clapton Stratocaster
tone and feel straight into your hands. Features include an alder body, three
Vintage Noiseless Single-Coil Strat pickups, active mid-boost (25 db) and TBX
circuits, special soft ‘V’-shaped maple neck, 9.5-inch maple fingerboard with
22 vintage-style frets, and blocked original vintage synchronized tremolo.
‘Soft V’ Neck Profile
The ‘soft V’ neck profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) on the Eric
Clapton Stratocaster has a distinctly comfortable fretting-hand feel that takes
the more pronounced sharpness of a '50s ‘V’ profile and ‘softens’ it into a
somewhat more rounded shape. Ideal for players with larger hands whose thumb
extends over the edge of the fingerboard.
TBX Tone Control
The first tone control knob operates this guitar's TBX (Treble Bass Expander)
tone circuitry. The knob has a detent at the center position (5) and works like
a normal tone control from zero to the detent. Turning the knob clockwise from
the detent adds presence and brightness, and turning it counterclockwise from
the detent rolls off high frequencies.
Active Mid Boost
The second tone control knob functions as an active mid-boost control. Turning
it clockwise boosts mid and bass frequencies while decreasing treble
frequencies.
Blocked Tremolo
The Eric Clapton Stratocaster comes with an easily removable wood block
installed between the tremolo block and tremolo cavity wall to keep it from
moving, as specified by the great guitarist himself.
Urethane Finish
Urethane guitar body finishes are especially strong and durable, and will hold
colors with great vividness, sheen, and clarity for extraordinarily long
periods.
9.5-Inch Fingerboard Radius
The fingerboard radius is an important spec that describes the amount of
curvature across the width of the fingerboard. This instrument's modern 9.5-inch
fingerboard radius is slightly more flattened than a vintage-style radius, but
still with enough arc to provide a natural and notably comfortable
fretting-hand feel, and to make bending notes easier.
