Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster – Blackie
The Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster brings together the tone, feel and responsiveness of one of the most influential guitarists of all time. Inspired by Clapton’s legendary “Blackie,” this USA-built Strat delivers smooth vintage clarity, powerful midrange drive and the signature comfort that defines Clapton’s playing style.
At the core of the Blackie Strat are three Vintage Noiseless pickups that provide classic Strat sparkle without unwanted hum. The active 25 dB mid-boost circuit gives you thick, singing lead tones on demand, while the TBX tone control allows for detailed shaping from bright, glassy cleans to warm, rounded edges. The soft V-shaped maple neck feels fast and natural, especially for players who favour blues bends and expressive vibrato.
The vintage-style synchronized tremolo comes factory-blocked to improve sustain and tuning stability, echoing Clapton’s personal preferences. Built for studio, stage and professional performance, this Strat is one of Fender’s most iconic and respected signature instruments.
