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. FEATURESAlder bodyVintage Noiseless™ pickupsActive mid-boost and TBX tone circuitsSpecial “soft V” neck profileVintage-style blocked synchronized tremolo bridge“SOFT V” NECK PROFILE The “soft V” neck profile (the shape of the neck in cross section) on the Eric Clapton Stratocaster has a distinctly comfortable fretting-hand feel that takes the more pronounced sharpness of a ’50s “V” profile and “softens” it into a somewhat more rounded shape. Ideal for players with larger hands whose thumb extends over the edge of the fingerboard.TBX TONE CONTROL The first tone control knob operates this guitar’s TBX (Treble Bass Expander) tone circuitry. The knob has a detent at the center position (5) and works like a normal tone control from zero to the detent. Turning the knob clockwise from the detent adds presence and brightness; turning it counterclockwise from the detent rolls off high frequencies.ACTIVE MID BOOST The second tone control knob functions as an active mid-boost control. Turning it clockwise boosts mid and bass frequencies while decreasing treble frequencies.BLOCKED TREMOLO The Eric Clapton Stratocaster comes with an easily removable wood block installed between the tremolo block and tremolo cavity wall to keep it from moving, as specified by the great guitarist himself.URETHANE FINISH Urethane guitar body finishes are especially strong and durable, and will hold colors with great vividness, sheen and clarity for extraordinarily long periods.9.5” FINGERBOARD RADIUS The fingerboard radius is an important spec that describes the amount of curvature across the width of the fingerboard. This instrument’s modern 9.5” fingerboard radius is slightly more flattened than a vintage-style radius, but still with enough arc to provide a natural and notably comfortable fretting-hand feel, and to make bending notes easier.Model: Fender USA Eric Clapton StratocasterBuilder: Fender USAYear: 2022Body Type: SolidBody Wood: AlderFinish Type: Gloss UrethaneFinish Color: PewterNeck Wood: MapleFingerboard: MapleNeck Carve: Soft "V"Scale Length: 25.5''Neck Dimensions: .820" - .920"Neck Radius: 9.50''Frets: 22 Vintage-StyleNut Width: 1.650" (42 mm)Nut Material: Synthetic BoneNeck Finish: Satin UrethaneInlays: Black DotsNeck Pickup: Vintage Noiseless™ Single-Coil Strat®Middle Pickup: Vintage Noiseless™ Single-Coil Strat®Bridge Pickup: Vintage Noiseless™ Single-Coil Strat®Pickguard: 1-Ply WhiteHardware: ChromeBridge: 6-Saddle American Vintage Synchronized TremoloTuners: 6-in-Line American VintageControls: Master Volume, Tone 1.
