This Fender® Custom Shop Todd Krause Masterbuilt Eric Clapton Stratocaster in Torino Red is Stunning!
The name Eric Clapton has been tied to Fender for decades and this guitar, a Masterbuilt signature Strat by Todd Krause would certainly be appreciated by Clapton himself especially since Krause builds Clapton's touring guitars. This is an instrument that can run the gamut from spanky cleans a la Lay Down Sally to the searing lead tones on the Journey Man record. The Mid Boost adds in a lot of output making the Noise Free Single Coil pickups sound like high output hum buckers. A factory installed 5 way switch gives you immediate access to all the quintessential Strat tones. A Factory Blocked Tremolo means the bridge comes essentially locked and will not 'vibrato'. Easily removed, though for normal Strat-trem functionality. The neck profile is a slender Soft V which is very easy on the hands. The 9.5" Radius allow for easy bending across the 22 Vintage Frets. The neck is finished with a satin urethane that is never sticky and simply will not slow you down no matter how sweaty your hands get. This guitar is finished in Torino Red. A less often seen color on the Clapton Model but that doesn't make it any less awesome! The Torino Red is bright and vibrant.
