Extremely powerful Humbucker guitar
Published on 06/23/24 at 05:55The Clapton signature Stratocaster must be the absolute most powerful Humbucker guitar in the world. Having Said that its a very well made guitar. Because of its Stacked Humbuckers accrive circutry run by a battery and incredible 25 DB mid boost, it feels like its about 20 times more powerful than a Gibson Les Paul Humbucker wise. Guitars with active circutry run by a battery are always extremt hot. Even when the boost was off it was a lot more powerful Than my Gibson Les Paul Humbucker wise. This guitar is reallly extreme and as far away from a normal Stratocaster you can possibly come. But it should deffinitely suit the proffessional players that want really heavy guitar sound which...…

Most powerful Humbucker guitar I have ever played
Published on 05/12/24 at 06:10Wow. When I tried the Clapton signature Stratocaster Without boost it was more powerful than my Gibson Les Paul. With the 25 DB mid boost it was way too powerful for Me, but with a Little boost it works fine. Please use a very powerful amp with this guitar. This guitar at 25 DB mid boost is actually 17 times more powerful than a Gibson Les Paul I found out. You wont get near a Stratocaster sound though. So if you are looking for a Stratocaster this is not for you. The guitar is not that well balanced as it is way too powerful Humbucker wise.The Clapton signature Stratocaster has Humbuckers ( Fender Vintage Noiceless ) and an incredible 25 DB mid boost. So this is a pure Humbucker...…

So this is a pure Humbucker guitar. And with the 25 DB mid boost engaged it must easily be the most powerful Humbucker guitar in the world. But Thats What Clapton wanted. I use it When extremely powerful Humbucker sounds is needed.

Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster
Published on 02/24/06 at 15:00I've played guitar for 41 years. I'm a lead guitarist and lead singer, but don't mind playing rhythm to help the band out. I was in a Country Western band about 8 years ago which was fun, doing Top 40 C/W. I've played the blues in bars, which is great fun, and consider myself a bluesman first. I'm a songwriter and I've recorded demos of about 100 of my songs for publication/albums in the future. I play primarily in church now, keeping my chops up, 20 years of that so far! But when I retire in a few years I plan to perform locally and/or as far as it will take me.

But when I retire in a few years I plan to perform locally and/or as far as it will take me.
Bought it new in 1994 for $1,131 at Jensen's Music in Santa Barbara. I read about this guitar in guitar magazines, and heard/saw Eric Clapton play it on his albums and on films of his concerts. The sound was to die for! I needed a FAT sound for playing lead, and this baby really sounded fantastic. I wanted a fat sound and great tone without having to play so loud your eardrums got popped. This guitar more than delivered just that.
This guitar is so "playable" and the range of tones you can get from it is really incredible. It's like "buttah". It feels like it's part of you since it's so easy to play. The active midrange boost is what does that, and it's really something. Plus those amazing Gold Lace Pickups. I don't think you can get a fatter tone from any other guitar. The compression knob is also very nice. If you find the midrange is tending to muddy, you can turn up the compression and make your tone sharp and clear. It cuts through anything else in the band but never in a rude way. I'd say, as much as it roars, it's really a gentleman's guitar because it's so smooth. And you never get tired of playing it for those 4 hour gigs because it's so lightweight. Whereas a Les Paul will put a crick in your neck since they weigh a ton!
Right after I got it, the lacquer on the fretboard scaled off in a couple of spots. I never had it refinished, but plan to soon. I have to admit, that as good as the sound is, there are elements of cheapness to it. The tuning knobs are encrusted with something white because they're not treated to prevent whatever chemical reaction that caused it. And I really couldn't stand the cheap looking, thin, plain white pick guard. So I replaced it myself with a gorgeous white/pearlized pick guard which really makes it look classy. My guitar is that gorgeous green, and looks sharp with the pick guard I put on it.
I'd say the construction is lacking. If the lacquer hadn't peeled on the fretboard, the tuning heads stayed shiny and the pick guard been pearlized, it would've been much better. And I don't like the battery cover set up on the back of the guitar. It's too easy to scratch the back with a screwdriver when you replace the battery. But really, because it's such a dream to play and has such a huge and fluent tone, it's not that big of a deal.
If you want the easiest guitar in the world to play, with a smooth, huge tone, get one of these. One of the guys that did sound for me when I was playing this guitar called it the "Green Machine". I named it "Miss Molly" from the song "Good Golly Miss Molly!" because that's the way I feel playing it!

Fender Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster
Published on 11/28/01 at 15:00I bought this guitar used from a local dealer. I paid $900 which was a bargain considering this guitar was a 50th anniversary as well
this guitar has great sound with the lace sensor active pick ups. They give u a good single coil and you can crank up the mid boost for a great humbucker sound. This guitar stays in tune forever. This guitar has fat clean tone and great distortion.
One of the only things I dislike about this guitar is that it is very heavy and with the mid boost up, the clean tone can get a little blurry when the strings are plucked hard.
the body is alder and the paint job is great. My strat is pewter and the quality is great.
If u want a great sounding guitar that...…

If u want a great sounding guitar that is low maintenance looks great, this guitar is for you. This guitar was worth every penny.
