1992 ORIG CLAPTON BLACKIE FENDER STRAT COLLECTOR GRADE ROSEWOOD NECK
YES YOU SEE CORRECT, YES FENDER MADE 94 OF THESE, EVER, I BE WILLING TO BET, NEVER EVER SEE THIS AGAIN. I HEARD OF THESE, NEVER SEEN ONE, ALL IN COLLECTOR'S HANDS. CLAPTON SAID YES, BUT COUPLE DAYS LATER SAID NO, FENDER WAS NOT GOING TO THROW AWAY 94 NECKS. IN PERSON THIS IS MINT SHAPE, 9.9 OUT OF 10 IN MY BOOK. IF YOU ARE TO BUY, USE YOUR MICROSCOPE THEN COME BACK MOVE ON. THIS IS 17-18 YEARS OLD, COLLECTOR STORED AWAY, BUT IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS LIKE A DARN DREAM. YA YA THE GOLD LACE EARLY USA ERIC CLAPTON'S ALL ROCK, BUT THIS ROSEWOOD OPENS UP ANOTHER TONE WORLD.
THE NECK I AM CALLING A V SHAPE, IT MORE V PROFILE THAN ALL THE OTHER SOFT V CLAPTON'S I EVER HAD!
1992 POTS DATES, 92 NECK AND BODY AND HANG TAGS. BLACK IS HARD TO FILM, YOU JUST LOOK AT IT IS HAS A MARK, THIS IS AS CLEAN AS IT GETS. AS YOU NOTICED I USE A CLOTH WHILE FILMING. 1st TIME IN MY LIFE I EVER DID THAT! WHAT THAT TELL YOU?
THIS IS BRAGGING RIGHTS!

In 1991 Eric agreed to have his signature model with a rosewood fretboard as well to suit the needs of players disliking the feel of maple-neck models. However, only 94 of these short lived guitars were made and their production finally ceased.
