Sound Pure's Take

One of Fender's best-selling signature models gets the deluxe treatment in the Custom Shop Journeyman style. The lightly relic'd finish is just the right amount of wear for this axe to look and feel broken in without looking or feeling like too much of a road warrior. Add in a set of Fender Noiseless pickups, the TBX (Treble Bass eXpander) tone control, AND a 0-25db Mid Boost and a wealth of sonic possibility is right at your fingertips. 

Watch & listen

From Fender

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.
