I share the same love for the Eric Clapton strat. I have owned one for six years now and have played it so much the frets are showing some serious wear. It is hands down the most versatile guitar I have ever played. :D


you own 1, do you own the one with lace sensors or vintage noiseless?
since its been 6yrs?
i love that strat(blackie), however i think i like the scn better than the vintage noiseless. ive played both. then again, certain days i like my am std more than my hwy 1, others its vise versa.


Mine has the vintage noiseless pu's. I first tried one with lace sensors and I loved the way it felt and I loved the mid-boost/tbx controls. The lace sensors were ok, especially since they were quiet, but they didn't respond like real pu's, especially when you rolled off the volume, so I had one with vintage noiseless pu's ordered for me. I wouldn't take anything for this guitar, and believe me several have offered. :wink: By the way, I opted for the pewter.


I always wanted the original EC with the Lace Sensors in pewter which was the color Eric was playing the first time I saw a pic of his new guitar. I'm thinking the Buddy Guy and Eric Johnson models would be my next choices.

Just out of interest whats your views on the Clapton neck. It seems to be a love/hate thing.

I like the look of the Gilmour Sig. I have not heard it in action or layed on one in the store yet. Kinda afraid, that's a lot of dinero.

The old model with the Lace sensors has a pronounced V neck while the newer model with the noiseless pups has a shallower V. As I said before I prefer the Lace pups, but I also prefer the shallower V.

Mine has the vintage noiseless pu's. I first tried one with lace sensors and I loved the way it felt and I loved the mid-boost/tbx controls.

So far, the only signature models I've actually tried that I liked were the Ritchie Blackmore model, and the Buddy Guy model.
I do want to get my hands on a Robin Trower model to give that a test drive. That seems to be the the one that has most of what I'm looking for tone-wise.

Strange things seem to be happening on this site lately. My reply to jaiyenyen was:

The old model with the Lace sensors has a pronounced V neck while the newer model with the noiseless pups has a shallower V. As I said before I prefer the Lace pups, but I also prefer the shallower V.

Somehow, it ended up in the same box as bluesstrattone's reply!!! :shock:

There's bugs in here somewhere. Weird !!

A toss up between my John Mayer Limited Edition and the Mark Knopfler. The Ej Strat is too sterile and thin for my likes. Just my opinion, but I've always liked rosewood better than maple for fredboards.

mine would be the john frusciante signature. 60's RW neck on a 3-tone burst with '62 pups... </sploog>

oh, you mean actual production? um, i've only played the Eric Johnson and it was a dream! i'd love to play the clapton one or the muddy waters tele!
