A stunning example of the highly sought-after Fender Custom Shop Artist Series Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster, finished in the rare and eye-catching Mercedes Blue custom colour.

This model features the signature soft V-shaped neck, a blocked American Vintage tremolo, three Custom Shop Vintage Noiseless™ pickups, active Mid-Boost circuitry, and the TBX tone control, all signature elements of Clapton’s iconic tone.
Professionally set up with brand-new strings, this guitar plays beautifully and is ready for the stage or studio. Sale includes original vintage Tweed case, tremolo arm, certificate of authenticity (COA), and paperwork.
Excellent overall condition. Just a couple of very small marks in the lacquer, otherwise mint.
