A used Eric Clapton signature model "Blackie," highly popular not only among fans but also general consumers, has arrived!

Fender's regular line Eric Clapton signature model!

This model is popular for its vintage-like look and sound with a mid-boost. It features an alder body and a one-piece maple neck. The neck grip is a smooth soft V shape, making it comfortable for playing styles that involve gripping the neck or for playing bluesy phrases.

The guitar features three Vintage Noiseless pickups with noise reduction technology. These pickups offer high responsiveness, high output, and ease of use. Furthermore, the active mid-boost circuit allows you to change the powerful sound with the controls at your fingertips, enabling a wide range of sound shaping, from classic Stratocaster sounds to boosted tones!
The amount of mid-boost can be adjusted at your fingertips using the knob that normally controls the center pickup tone, allowing for instant boosting during live performances, such as when taking a solo.
Of course, it's also great to always have the mid-boost on and play with a thicker sound that you basically can't get with a Stratocaster.
The tone control employs a TBX circuit, resulting in a flexible tone circuit that offers both a high-cut for the normal tone and a low-cut for the reverse pattern.

Since Clapton himself does not use the tremolo arm, the guitar comes factory-installed with five tremolo springs and a piece of wood blocking them. However, by removing the piece of wood, reducing the number of springs, and floating the tremolo arm, it becomes possible to use the tremolo arm just like on a regular Stratocaster.

The 22-fret design expands the range of playing possibilities, making it a popular model not only among Clapton fans, so please consider it!

*Regarding the condition, there are no noticeable dents or damage to the frets, and approximately 80% of them remain. The truss rod also has plenty of adjustment range.
The electrical system is in good working order, but there are some minor, shallow scratches on the body, slight clouding on the metal parts, and some slight fading on the headstock decal logo.

*Please refer to the photos for any particularly noticeable large scratches or damage.

Made in 2016
