This Stratocaster has been played with pleasure for the last eleven years, which can be seen immediately as it is wonderfully swung-in. However, it must also have been much loved by the previous owner as its condition is close to mint. The guitar has been top cared for, so its NOS finish in fascinating Torino Red shines enchantingly and in combination with the interestingly grained maple neck and white pickguard it shows a killer look. This Eric Clapton Strat is one of masterbuilder Dale Wilson's early masterpieces and of course comes with the tried and true Clapton specs like the "Eric Clapton Soft V" neck profile, vintage upgrade frets and midrange boost. This allows the Stratocaster's singlecoil sound to be boosted towards a humbucker sound giving the Strat incredible tonal versatility. Combined with the Vintage Noiseless pickups, which deliver slightly more sustain due to a weaker magnetic field, but a slightly higher and more balanced output signal in the process, the guitar is guaranteed to handle all Clapton sounds at its best. From open, tangy, pearly and clear to fat, smacky sounds - anything is possible here! And the neck with its 9.5'' radius is so easy to play that you won't want to stop flitting over the visually and haptically unique fingerboard.So it is not surprising that this phenomenal guitar comes from the house of Dale Wilson, one of the most renowned master builders of the Fender Customer Shop, whose Stratocasters are now traded at new prices beyond EUR 12,000. Everything is just right here: look, playability and sound! This Strat, which frets show only minimal play marks, is not only something for Clapton fans, but represents a beautiful and varied player that really no one wants to put down. And that at an absolute preferential price! So you have to be quick...
