I purchased a CS Clapton in daphne blue a few month ago (for my thirties), and have to thank all the CS crew for this wonderfull guitar. Perfect fret job, neck, sound, beauty of the color and the wood...
I have a MIA 60th anniversary strat, and before trying the CS, I could'nt imagine there was such a gap of quality between the two guitars. The MIA is a great instrument, but the CS just reach the top. I think it makes me play better (and I need it! :oops: ).
Here's some pics (sorry for the sheeps, there are many at home :lol:)

This is kinda funny, because I own a MIA 60th Ann. Strat and I am looking to buy the same guitar (In the Ferrari Grey though, it may seem absurd but each time I've seen him he's played the grey so I feel it fitting, plus its an awesome finish haha).

I've been looking for a guitar with a slight-v for a while and my particular strat is VERY heavy. Plus, I hate my distortion pedal and love the way the midboost on the Clapton sounds; however I don't want to install it on my anniversary strat. I was sold on the strat when I played my friend's TK MB Clapton strat... heaven!

Anyway, grats on the new guitar.

Thanks!
First, I was looking for the grigio, because the daphne seemed a bit pale on photos. But there was "only" a daphne left in the shop (Guitare Village, near Paris, it was the first time I went there, very good shop and team!), and the color is awesome "in real life" (I think that most photos of this guitar on the internet are over-exposed). In fact I like the idea of this nice, sweet looking guitar...roaring in an overdriven tube amp :D .
I also tried a CS Jeff Beck sig in the shop, but the Clapton's neck won the game, I felt at home in a few minutes. Both guitars had a killer tone, anyway! :D

congratulation .

Sonic/daphne blue /maple neck has to be the most beautiful combinaison ever for a strat . Surf green would follow after IMO . :):)

your guitar is amazing . I love sonic blue .

everytime i see a sonic blue guitar ... i cant help but fall in love with it . Best color ever .

you have my dream strat ... (except mine would be a HSS with a duncan humbucker cause i play metal ). but that clapton strat is great :)

and from what ive seen this guitar is 3500 $ ... :shock: quite expensive .. but nice buy .. im sure its the best their his ever .

Mine came today. After playing for about 45min I think Im going to really like this guitar. The mid boost is going to take alittle getting use to. I don,t thing I need my tube screamer any more. Its a beautiful guitar. I love the neck. Setup is perfect out of the Box.
