It's definitely a Clapton. That CE sticker on the neck plate means 'Clapton, Eric'. Doesn't it? :wink:

Cheers - Peter.

I nearly made a similar joke, but well done Peter on your excellent wooooosh :lol:

Just to avoid further confusion, 'EC' = European Commission, right?

I'm thinking it must be a fake as, while it has the Clapton Eric sticker it doesn't have a "No rubbish (trash) bins were harmed in the making of this product" sticker.

my Clapton is very close serial number wise SN8952*** the main Fender decal is not laquered over, so easy to mess it up with a cloth and polish or whatever, I stripped and stuck a new one on mine.

It might well be the real deal.
Why is the "Fender" and Stratocaster" decal missing?


I once had a 1981 Morocco Red Strat, from the "International Colours" series. It went to a repair guy in a big music shop in Manchester UK to get new frets, neck re-lacquered and so on. Whatever the guy did by way of prep wiped out the logo decal and - even worse - the serial number, which was also a decal on the headstock in those days.

He was entirely unrepentant... couldn't see why I would have a problem with it. He was able to source a replacement logo decal, but the serial number was lost. There was probably another one on the body somewhere, but that's not the point. So... maybe this one has just been to a low-IQ repair guy.
