This is the guitar of a lifetime. Everything is perfect and from the American standard, there is a huge improvement in all respects.
With the active electronics simple and very well thought out, everything is done!

UTILIZATION

Channel soft v: I would say U that ends pretty flat. In a perfect playability, I like very fine vintage frets that do not block my fingers. The handle on mine is pretty flamed: the bowl is a signature series!
It is widely lighter than the American standard (wood selected) and lets forget about the shoulder.
Sustain huge (for strata) and glaze very thin but strong.
One of the many strengths of this guitar, gràace the quality of the violin is when - even action: very low, curling free, which immediately increases your level of play!

SOUNDS

I tried many guitars over the past three years and heard a lot of demos. It is difficult to find a single coil sound as warm and precise, with many fishing and versatility, all without noise.
I'm in a cover band that plays music of the 60s until today, the Clapton never faulted.
I plugged into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III and I use a delay loop in the chorus and Electro Harmonix. That's all and it's perfect!

OVERALL OPINION

Compared to the stratum american standard no comparison Clapton both played in another category. For the price difference, please.
Compared to the custom shop I have not tried but again I have done much research and I have my opinion: 1000 euros more, this is not justified. Those who see only two little difference, except that the custom is a bit more powerful. Unless you play BERCY, I do not see the point but the marketing is done well and I am also tempted by the custom shop. There are strong Fender for suciter desire!
