Mirroring Eric Clapton's personal specs, the original Eric Clapton Signature model born in the Fender Custom Shop just got cooler with a new Journeyman Relic finish. The new finish lets the two-piece select ash's figure show through while feeling like it's seen countless gigs. Offering a special soft V-shaped maple neck, three Vintage Noiseless™ pickups, blocked tremolo and Clapton's signature on the headstock - along with the smooth feel and authentic sound of the original - the Journeyman Relic Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster is one of our finest creations.
