The model features Fender's Vintage Noiseless pickups, active 25dB mid-boost circuit, TBX tone control and the distinctive soft "V" neck profile that Clapton has favoured for decades. Plugged in, the guitar delivers everything from sparkling Strat cleans to surprisingly thick, almost humbucker-like lead tones thanks to the active mid-boost.

The soft "V" neck is exceptionally comfortable, particularly for players who wrap their thumb over the fretboard, while the blocked tremolo provides excellent tuning stability and sustain.

It's a guitar equally at home playing blues, classic rock, pop and session work.
