Recommended player-condition used item!
Eric's eternal favorite color, Blackie! We have received a recommended player's condition used model made by the current god-favorite Senior Master Builder, Todd Crowes! It was made in 2004!

This is a recommended used Clapton Stratocaster NOS (New Old Stock) made by Todd Crowes, the current Senior Master Builder and personal craftsman of the legendary Eric Clapton! It was made in 2004. The coloring is Blackie, Eric's eternal companion! There is no "BLACKIE" written on the back of the headstock, and the certificate of authenticity states Custom Clapton Stratocaster.

It features a maple neck with a subtle flame grain and noiseless pickups. But what's truly remarkable is the godlike, slender, edgy neck feel, crafted by Todd Crowes, who has been supporting Eric Clapton's legendary fingering in recent years! It's the kind of guitar that makes you want to keep playing it forever, and I'm sure Eric himself felt the same way!

The tuning pegs are a staggered type, a selection from EC models dating back to the mid-2000s, where the post height decreases from the 6th string to the 1st string, resulting in an exquisite balance of tension for each string!

This is a custom-made instrument featuring an alder body with five springs, secured completely with wooden pieces sandwiched in between!
The weight is approximately 3.49 kg. While many Clapton models tend to have a substantial weight, this particular instrument strikes a perfect balance, making it easy to use while still producing a solid, resonant sound.

This versatile model features vintage noiseless pickups that aim for the classic Stratocaster tone while suppressing noise with staggered pole piece Alnico V magnets and a stacked coil design, combined with an active mid-boost circuit installed to create a thicker sound. Based on the basic Stratocaster sound, it achieves a wide range of easy-to-use tones! The assembly is the exact same specification as the one used on the artist's own guitar from the mid-2000s, with a mid-boost and no TBX control!

The EC model is a superb guitar that can be used by anyone, not just Eric Clapton fans!
Eric Clapton's 2025 concert in Japan was fantastic!
The god, now 80 years old, certainly showed signs of aging, but instead of resisting old age, he faced his 80-year-old self as he was, enjoying the music and the communication with the audience, and showed us a wonderful live performance!
He played in a relaxed manner, but when he switched into performance mode, his masterful technique reminded me once again that he truly is a legendary guitarist who was called a god!

We've just received a recommended player's condition used guitar! It's a 2004 model.

The single-ply pickguard shows overall discoloration, and there are gaps of approximately 1.0mm and 0.5mm on the left side of the pickguard due to aging, but neither affects playability or causes any problems.
There are minor scratches, dents, buckle marks, pick scratches on the body and pickguard, paint wear, minor scratches and dents around the 2nd to 4th frets on the back of the neck, and tarnishing on the metal parts, but it has a great character! None of these affect playability or cause any problems.
Although there are many scratches, dents, and signs of use, this guitar has been maintained and cleaned by our shop, so it is ready to use immediately. The "Noiseless" lettering on the pickup cover has faded, but this does not affect its operation.

The frets have been leveled and it's ready to use. Approximately 75% of the fret life remains.
The nuts are in good working order. The truss rod also functions normally and there are no issues with adjustment.

The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.

Accessories include the original tweed case, key, tremolo arm, certificate of authenticity, and neck wrench.

This is a record that will awaken your blues spirit!
Don't miss it!!
