Eric was recently spotted playing an aged white blonde Strat without the Journeyman Relic finish. Specs suggest a 2-piece select ash body.
Clapton so good
When you've made your living off of only playing five notes, sometimes a sixth, all you need is three guitars.
Whatever happened to Jeff beck’s rig rundown? Was it deleted?
It's great having an EC Strat built by Todd Krause of Fender Custom Shop, and also great meeting and having dinner with Todd, and getting your Strat autographed by him.
Tony Soprano to Carmela: "It's a Hermes. Supposed to be the best."
I wouldn't have thought 10s for Slinkys. Eric does some fairly hefty bending at times. I used to use 9s and that was plenty of resistance without tuning down.
EC = "Taste" Few so called 'guitar hero's' have what EC has. Thats what he has over them.
Sending support from Edz
See all the tech stuff i dont get. I would string the three guitars before the tours start and chances are i wouldnt have to change strings til i GOT BACK HOME?(yea new strings take awile to "settle in" hes right.) Chances are i wouldnt even break one..i get Hundreds of hours to a set. If ya wipe em off after playing each time(salts). And i use various tuning and ussually go a bit sharp…and bend more then gilmore? Why Anyone needs a "Guitar TECH" when i the best cant get a JOB i dont know?
He also tours with a right wing racist ideology, antivax propaganda material, and general mistrust of everyone he meets too.
He was a hero of mine for years, my first guitar hero.. until I found out he was a wrong’un recently. Gutted tbh.

My CHarvel can sound as a loud a his strat but the clean tone is not really good
the problem with the Clapton strat: the noiseless pickups are not famous to sound bright
the tuners are bad
the heavy gauge strings :it needs a full set up to come back to 09 -46
the trem is not interesting (not Beck 's trem)
the rosewood fingerboard is not here
the only thing I like is the boost+tbx but Fender could add that in some other guitars
with a floyd rose or not
in 2988
Can't wait!!
This what makes Clapton a fantastic artist.. Its in his playing, in his singing.. his feel and knowlegde of music. Simple set up, hardly any pedals, vintage amp… Thats what makes him God
3 Strats is a “just”?
It should be noted that Noiseless V1 pick ups are reallt like humbuckers – one on top of the other. Stronger than your basic fat 50s strat PUs – a bit darker – more sustain – an upgrade to the Lace Sensors which were just single coils with a different design so the magnetic field was manipulated to give less pull on the strings. But yeah the guitars are identical to what you buy – BUT – the three way only switch is notthe same in the basic models – must be just the CS models.
only a three way pickup? That can't be right. Clapton loved the sound between the middle and bridge pick up and he still uses it sometimes.
I have owned many Fender Stratocasters over the years , my Eric Clapton Stratocaster is by far the greatest Guitar I have ever owned and played , I had a 100 watt Marshall Stack – Amazing sound , now have a 1965 Fender Deluxe Reverb .
Did he ever try using a hardtail bridge?
Finally a Clapton Rig Rundown !!
What a gent ✌️
tough job handling guitars for a mega racist – should've left it at Cream and gone into hibernation.
If I had that guitar, my wife would have to find somewhere else to sleep!!!!
Great guitar for sure with 4th generation pickups.
I think it would nice if Eric add a Firebird, SG and Les Paul in the mix and add some diversity to the mix!!!!!!
Slowhand is my fave..love a lot of guitar masters, but Eric is another level.Finally got to see him live , blew me away and it just seemed effortless.He had the biggest speakers ever brought to NZ.
