Here is a lightly reliced "journeyman" version of Eric Clapton's signature Strat. This one is in the two-tone sunburst with an alder body. 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. 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.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. Note that due to the active electronics, the pots in this guitar turn right-handed.Condition: Light relic; Body: Alder, 1-ply parchment pick guard; Neck: Maple, Clapton soft V carve, 9.5 radius; Nut: 1.650; Color: two tone sunburst; Pickups: Vintage Noiseless; Scale: 25.5; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course) -

Here's a Fender Custom Shop 59 Vintage Custom hardtail Strat in NOS sonic blue with a mint green pickguard and nice dark rosewood fretboard. One of my favorite color combos. Fender sez: "1959 saw the advent of several important feature changes to the Stratocaster® including a slab rosewood fingerboard with clay position dots, a three-ply mint green pickguard with 8, 9 or 10 screws depending on the month it was built, and a metal spacer added to the string tree. This hardtail version would have been on the rare side, which ups the collectability and cool factors.

1967’s Summer of Love and Flower Power movement influenced mainstream fashions worldwide, and Fender was on board with its new Paisley Telecasters. Oddly enough, the guitars became more popular with rockabilly and country western players (they were adopted most famously by Tele master James Burton) rather than the flower children that helped inspire them. These guitars have earned a special place in Fender history, and the Fender Custom Shop Vintage Custom 1968 Paisley Tele models are faithful recreations of those original instruments. The two-piece select alder body wears an NOS lacquer finish with WLS undercoat over the famous Paisley or Blue Flower motif. The rift-sawn maple neck has a ’60-style “oval C” profile, topped by a round-lam rift-sawn maple fingerboard with 7.25”-9.5” vintage compound radius and 21 medium vintage frets for a comfortable feel up and down. Hand-wound Tele pickups with a three-way switch and modern Tele wiring. Other features include an eight-hole clear polyurethane pickguard, ’67 Tele bridge with threaded steel saddles, Schaller® “F” tuning machines, bone nut, and wing string tree.
