Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster Mn, Pewter

The Essentials to Know About the Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster Guitar

• "Slowhand" Signature: the Stratocaster feel and Clapton's spirit combined in an instrument crafted for rock and blues.


• Vintage Noiseless SSS Pickups: the "vintage" tone of a Strat with less hum, ideal for both stage and studio.


• Active Electronics: TBX and Mid-Boost (0-25 dB) controls to switch from a crystal-clear clean to a thick, singing lead.


• Soft "V" Maple Neck + locked tremolo: comfort and stability, perfect for expressive playing and generous bends.

A Signature Stratocaster That Became a Reference

The Eric Clapton Stratocaster ranks among Fender's most sought-after signature models, with a clearly player-oriented approach: a classic Strat base enhanced with technical choices designed to deliver immediate response, controlled dynamics, and a wide palette of sounds. Its identity is based on the balance between tradition (Strat format, vintage tremolo, timeless look) and modernity (Noiseless pickups, active electronics).

For Whom and Which Styles?

This Strat is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking true versatility without leaving Fender's DNA. It excels in blues, rock, pop, and funk thanks to its typically Strat intermediate positions, while also being able to thicken the signal for more powerful leads via the Mid-Boost. The soft "V" neck is especially suited for players who enjoy a vintage feel but with a modern radius (9.5" / 241 mm) to maintain ease on bends.

The Sound

The alder body delivers the classic Fender balance: present mids, precise highs, and a well-controlled low end, perfect for preserving articulation in chords as well as bluesy phrases. The SSS configuration and Vintage Noiseless pickups retain the snap and clarity of a "vintage style" Strat while minimizing unwanted noise. The active electronics (TBX + Mid-Boost) expand the palette: you can stay on a very open clean, boost the mids to thicken a solo, or enhance presence in a mix without changing amps. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo and locked tremolo promote sustain and tuning stability.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel and balance, use a set of strings with gauge .010-.046 (same as factory setup). A microfiber cloth for maintaining the urethane finish and maple neck is also a reliable daily choice.
