Built to Clapton’s specs, the Custom Shop Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster® guitar features an alder body, special soft V-shaped maple neck, three Vintage Noiseless™ pickups, blocked tremolo (block is removable) and Clapton’s signature on the headstock.What really makes this guitar special is Eric’s electronics setup … on the three knobs you have a master volume control, a “TBX” master tone circuit with a center detent (that also works on the bridge pickup unlike a typical Strat setup) and an active mid boost circuit, which gives you from 0 – 25 dB of boost. Ever wondered about the secret to Clapton’s tone? Now you have it in your hands. The real magic is in the mid boost circuit. Set it at zero and you have straight classic Strat tones. You can turn it up a little bit to thicken your sound, or crank it up more to start overdriving the front end of your amp. Turning it up all the way is a major boost, and a quiet one due to the Vintage Noiseless pickups. Really increase the tonal palette on the guitar and how it reacts with your amp and pedals. The TBX circuit is actually a dual pot that works as a low pass filter in one direction and a high pass filter in the other. A normal tone control rolls off treble only. This tone control allows you to roll off the lows or roll off the highs, so you can have a clear, bright tone, or the deep, bassy “woman” tone that Eric is noted for. With Custom Shop case, certificate of authenticity, cable, strap, etc.Condition: New; Body: Alder; Neck: Maple, Clapton soft V carve (.820/.920), 9.5 radius; Nut: 1.650; Color: Black; Pickups: Vintage Noiseless; Scale: 25.5; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course) -
Gorgeous limited edition Tomatillo Strat in Lake Placid Blue, with a blender that allows you to mix the neck pickup in with the middle and bridge, a la David Gilmour. Super nice guitar. Sweeter-sounding than its spicy cousin, but still packing authentic Fender tonal flavor, the Limited Edition Tomatillo Strat Relic III is hiding a few special ingredients inside. The trio of Hand-Wound Tomatillo single-coil Stratocaster pickups are crafted using alnico 2 magnets, reproducing what aged, original-era alnico 5 magnets might sound like today. The pickup set includes a RWRP middle pickup to reduce hum, and are tied together with Strat 1/2 Blender wiring, which lets you blend the neck pickup in to taste when in position one - bridge pickup-only - unlocking sweeter, more flavorful tone. The two-piece body is crafted from alder that was selected for weight and grain. Crafted from AA flame maple, the neck sports an 11/56 Off Center V back shape that comfortable for almost any playing style while the maple fingerboard sports a modern 7.25-9.5" vintage compound radius and Narrow Tall 6105 frets. Condition: Relic, flash coat lacquer; Body: Alder; Neck: 11/56 off-center V (.915-975), 7.25-9.5 compound radius; Nut: 1.650; Color: Faded Aged Lake Placid Blue; Pickups: handwound Tomatillo; Scale: 25.5; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course) -
Here's a Fender Custom Shop NOS 52 Tele in Nocaster blonde, with Fender's "flash coat" non-buffed lacquer finish and 51 modified NoCaster wiring -- first position is the bridge pickup and you can use what is normally the tone pot to blend in as much neck pickup as you like. Position 2 is the neck pickup, position three is also the neck pickup with some of the highs rolled off, not the dull vintage "bass" setting, but very tasteful and useful, great with overdrive. Fender sez: The 1952 Fender Telecaster is the quintessential electric guitar that started it all and is still a favorite after all these years. Simplicity of design and the alluring tone that only a Tele® can produce have graced countless recordings and stages over its long lifespan, and the Custom Shop ’52 Telecaster captures the original essence in all its glory. The guitar features a two-piece select ash body, a one-piece rift sawn maple neck with a comfortable ’57 “soft V” profile, vintage compound-radius (7.25”-9.5”) fingerboard and 21 narrow tall (6105) frets for comfortable play in all registers.

Here's an as-new Collings 360 LT M guitar in a special order shell pink finish, alder body, curly maple neck, mint green pickguard, Lollar JazzMaster pickups and the outstanding Mastery offset vibrato and bridge. This was ordered with a custom stout neck carve that is larger than the standard neck (.900 at the nut instead of the standard .865). As Collings says: "Our versatile 360 offset body shape has lent itself to several different adaptations since it's inception in 2009. In this latest incarnation, we are delighted to be working with our innovative friends at Mastery, makers of cutting edge hardware components for offset-style guitars. We've paired their remarkable offset bridge and vibrato with a solid ash (or alder) body and a maple neck to gain a further tonal foothold in the offset guitar sonic pallet. While firmly grounded in the iconic sounds of the offset guitar world, we've integrated a set neck and short scale length into the formula, delivering a resonance and feel that is distinctly Collings."

Here's a new Collings I-35 LC Vintage in aged blonde. I’ve been lucky enough to play some very fine electric guitars, but in my mind there isn’t a finer semi-hollow guitar out there than the Collings I-35. And now they've made it even better: Collings sez: "After several years in development and numerous prototype iterations, we are excited to introduce an I-35 like you've never experienced before — the new I-35 LC Vintage. Drawing inspiration from the best instruments of the 1960s, our newest offering in the I-35 lineup provides an exceptionally loose and organic feel, achieved through a ground up reworking of everything from its laminate and center block recipes to its neck construction. Custom Throbak pickups and Bumblebee capacitors bring its open, acoustic response to life, expanding its versatility and proving that, although it looks every bit the part of a time-tested instrument, its appeal is more than just skin deep." Semi-hollow construction: In order to achieve the loose feel and dynamic response of a long-played vintage instrument, we fully reengineered our laminate and center block recipes for the I-35 LC Vintage. Electronics: Era-appropriate while delivering clarity at every volume is a set of Throbak ESG-102B humbuckers tweaked to a custom Collings spec specifically for the I-35 LC Vintage, all complemented by a set of Luxe Bumblebee capacitors. Aged Finish and Hardware: Every I-35 LC Vintage sports our aged finish and aged hardware, an in-house developed process designed to give a truly time-worn look and feel. An altered truss rod curve and carefully chosen materials specific to the Vintage based on grain orientation, weight, and density are just a couple of the aspects that contribute to its expressive and organic feel and tone. Vintage Appointments: Gold or black reflector top knobs and a wide-bevel 3-ply pickgurard complement the aged finish and hardware and three vintage-inspired color options. They just don’t get any better. Lifetime warranty from Collings and a deluxe hardshell case.
