{"product_id":"871705","title":"Fender USA USED Eric Clapton Stratocaster UD (Black) 2012 [SN. US12129311]","description":"Recommended player-condition used item!\u003cbr\u003e The ever-popular Fender USA Eric Clapton Signature Model has arrived in player's condition as a used item! This is a 2012 model. It's in the timeless classic color, Blackie!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We have received a player's condition used Eric Clapton signature model guitar that can be used in a variety of genres! This guitar 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, and an active mid-boost circuit installed to create a thicker sound. The combination results in a versatile and easy-to-use tone based on the basic Stratocaster sound. The unique V-shaped neck has also been reproduced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The EC model is a superb guitar that can be used by anyone, not just his fans.\u003cbr\u003e The legendary Eric Clapton, who will turn 80 in 2025! We were so happy to see him looking so energetic at his Budokan concert in April 2025! The 80-year-old god certainly showed signs of aging, but instead of resisting it, he faced his 80-year-old self head-on, enjoying the music and the interaction with the audience, and gave us a wonderful live performance! He played in a relaxed manner, but when he switched into performance mode, his mature technique reminded us once again that this man is indeed a legendary guitarist who deserves to be called a god!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e And what's truly amazing is that he sings, plays guitar, performs guitar solos, and yet, with only a wah pedal at his feet, he manages to pull off such an incredible feat of playing and singing on stage for days on end at a venue the size of the Budokan—it's truly a divine feat!\u003cbr\u003e What's even more amazing is their pedalboard! These days, it's commonplace for guitarists to have fortress-like effect boards filled with countless effects pedals, which they use to add color to their solos and backing tracks.\u003cbr\u003e It's quite difficult to sustain a song without effects pedals, and even the three great guitarists who were Eric's contemporaries utilize effects pedals to some extent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Amidst all this, Eric Clapton's sound is truly remarkable, as he primarily uses only the mid-boost on his Stratocaster! He only occasionally uses a wah pedal! He might occasionally use a Leslie speaker, but that's about it.\u003cbr\u003e And she does all that while also being the main vocalist, so that's amazing!!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This time, we have a shipment of player-condition used items in stock.\u003cbr\u003e While there are minor scratches, numerous dents, visible wood dents, dents on the bottom, pick scratches, discoloration of the pickguard and back panel, paint thinning, and tarnishing of parts, we have performed a full maintenance on this guitar, so it is currently usable. The current setup is the same as the default, with five springs attached to the strings.\u003cbr\u003e The \"Noiseless\" lettering on the pickup cover is fading, but this does not affect its operation.\u003cbr\u003e There are chips in the \"F\" and \"e\" parts of the Fender logo on the headstock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The frets have been leveled. It is currently in a usable condition. The frets are quite low, with about 30% remaining. When the frets wear down in the future, they will need to be replaced.\u003cbr\u003e This item will be sold in its current condition. There is no warranty on this used item. Thank you for your understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The nuts are in good working order and function normally. The truss rods also function correctly for normal adjustments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The electrical system has also been fully checked, so there are no problems with its operation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The weight is approximately 3.70 kg. It's a little on the heavy side, but it produces a well-balanced sound with a solid core.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories include the original tweed case, key, arm, and Japanese instruction manual.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is a record that will awaken your blues spirit!\u003cbr\u003e Don't miss it!!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e SN.
