Description

The guitar of choice for Slowhand himself, the Stratocaster is inextricably linked to Clapton's legacy. Immortalized in one of Fender's most popular Artist offerings, the Eric Clapton Stratocaster boasts pure Clapton sound and feel with a classic alder body, vintage Noiseless single-coil pickups, active mid-boost and TBX tone circuits, "Soft V" neck profile and vintage-style blocked synchronized tremolo bridge for all the tools and tech to take a ride the Slowhand way.Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender's Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world's first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world's leading guitar manufacturer. Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music's most revered icons.
