Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Very Good condition with modest wear for an instrument of this age, including light scratches and other signs of normal handling and use. See below for more details and specifications.
FROM FENDER:
Experience the peerless Strat® style of Slowhand himself with the Eric Clapton Stratocaster, one of our most acclaimed and enduring artist signature models. With classic design and special features that give it exceptional tonal versatility and effortless feel worthy of one of the world's greatest names in rock and blues, it puts pure Clapton Stratocaster tone and feel straight into your hands. Features include an alder body, three Vintage Noiseless™ pickups, active mid-boost (25 db) and TBX circuits, special soft "V"-shaped neck, and blocked original vintage synchronized tremolo.
TBX and MDX:
TBX is a passive, stacked dual-gang potentiometer with a detent at position 5. From 5 to 10 it acts as a standard tone control, rolling off highs counterclockwise. From 0 to 5 it boosts treble, bass, and presence by reducing resistance via a high-pass/low-pass filter setup. This design cuts either bass or treble relative to center (unlike standard tones that only cut treble), effectively emphasizing mids in some settings.
MBX is an active circuit replacing the second tone pot for up to 25dB gain centered around 500Hz. Turning clockwise engages the boost, adding midrange punch and compression to mimic humbucker-like solos from single-coils. It also slightly boosts bass while cutting treble at higher settings, aiding clean and overdriven tones.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
