The Eric Clapton Stratocaster is one of Fender’s most acclaimed and enduring artist signature models. With classic design and special features that give it exceptional tonal versatility and effortless feel, worthy of one of the world’s greatest names in rock and blues, it puts pure Clapton Stratocaster tone and feel straight into your hands.

The distinct “V” neck profile on the Eric Clapton Stratocaster has a distinctly comfortable fretting-hand feel that’s ideal for players with larger hands whose thumb extends over the edge of the fingerboard. The fingerboard radius is an important spec that describes the amount of curvature of the fingerboard. The 9.5″ fingerboard radius is chosen to provide a comfortable fretting-hand feel, and to make bending notes easier.

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. The second tone control knob functions as an active mid-boost control. Turning it clockwise boosts mid and bass frequencies while decreasing treble frequencies.
