Built to “Slowhand’s” exact specifications, this instrument features three active Lace Sensor pickups and a powerful mid-boost circuit, delivering pristine cleans, thick lead tones, and near-zero noise. Finished in the rare Pewter Grey and paired with a soft “V” maple neck, this Strat faithfully reflects the guitars Clapton used on his late 1980s world tours making it a true piece of musical history.
